    Gertrude Toland 1901 to 1985. She was also involved in research.

    Heroes ... how about: Nancy Wake, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, Elizabeth I (and, arguably, Anne Boleyn), Edith Johncock, Elsie Knocker and Mairi Gooden-Chisholm, Elizabeth Fry, Mary Seacole, Millicent Fawcett, Amy Johnson and other ATA'rs. But as Ross said, there are many heroes and heroines, and amongst them I can think of the unsung bravery of a Great War widow in Dover who struggled every day to support her young children and keep them together. There were so many like her but most have no commemoration, save the loving memories of their families.
