Ambulance driver

Bernadette Williams was a 34 year old woman driving ambulances in the war. She first came to Canada with my mother and father and two younger sisters in 1932. Her father had come out of the Army after 24 years service and had obtained a job at the Portland Cement works in Gads Hill as Timekeeper and Storekeeper. When she was 11 years old she was selling poppies door to door for her school and a young man bought some crosses from me and later that day he came down to her house to buy some more. 7 years later they were married. She was a great part of the war effort because she drove people and saved the lives of soldiers. Her work will never be forgotten.
