Bren Gun Girl

Mornin' all. Ever heard of Rosie the Riveter? This is her British counterpart; the "Bren Gun Girl":

Veronica Foster, an employee of the John Inglis Co., Ltd. Bren Gun Plant, known as the "Bren Gun Girl" poses with a finished Bren Gun in 1941.




The Bren was a workhorse light machine gun for the British forces in WWII, and is still in production today.
