During WWII, Canadian propaganda posters often featured the “Bren Gun Girl“, a female munitions worker named Veronica Foster. Foster worked at the John Inglis plant in Toronto, which made washing machines in peacetime.
Some high resolution images of these famous pictures have been posted to the web. I thought I would share them with you. They might be useful to someone teaching a Canadian history survey.
P.S. If anyone knows what happened to Veronica Foster after the war, please contact me.
The Past Speaks 
An interesting correlative to the Bren Girl, are these Sten Gun Grannies, who worked at a munitions plant in Toronto:
I’m don’t think their propaganda value was as high as Ms. Foster!
Veronica Foster was my mother.
I just saw your comment now. Thanks for posting that information.
Hi Laura, I am a Queen’s University Graduate student writing my cognate on women in the postwar period. I was particularly interested in obtaining some information on your mother, Veronica Foster and what she did in the postwar period. Perhaps we can get in touch. I would greatly appreciate it!
Dear Ms. Guerrette. I am a researcher working on a confidential project and am trying to connect with Veronica Foster Guerrette’s next of kin. Would you please get in touch with me by way of this message or call me at 613-257-8586? Thank you! Leslie Jones
