The Bren Gun Girl ....

[6167]

I was one of the organizers of the Long Branch "Doors Open" events where "Ronnie " was recognized.
It was great to meet the family and honour her memory.
There was apparently quite a difference between Inglis and Long Branch from a social perspective.
They both had social events but Inglis was a private company and their events were apparently more..."Outgoing"!
Long Branch however was a Crown Corporation run by Colonel Jolley and the "official" social events were more "subdued"!
This perception apparently let to a lot of back and forth banter between the two teams.
My Grandfather was the night superintendent at Long Branch later in the war, and earlier a supervisor of inspectors.
