Here's a Normandy Beach landing photo they don't show you in textbooks.
Brave women of the Red Cross arriving in 1944 to help the injured troops.

Been reading about Gail Kelly, retiring CEO at Westpac. One of the truly great women CEOs in this Country... It's been in all the newspapers, so you can read her achievements yourselves. Another woman I greatly admire is Julie Bishop. That lady would make a first rate Prime Minster...

Yes we often forget about the important part the ladies played in our military. We have a number of WW2 lady veterans in our RSL club. Some of the stories these folks tell will curl your hair (no pun intended).
Good stuff ladies.
Safe travels

Thanks RL, never knew women went to Normandy.
I worked for an ex-army nurse- WW2, and at that time she was the only female member of the local RSL. She was a fantastic nurse, although as a 17 year old she could be scary when she roared down the ward at one!!
Gday...
