Lois Torrance

Lois Torrance recently celebrated her 100th birthday at her home in Uxbridge, ON! She served in the Second World War with the Canadian Women’s Army Corps. Taken from the Canadian Encyclopedia,

“During the Second World War Canadian women, for the first time, were mobilized for service in the Canadian Armed Forces. Of the roughly 50,000 women who enlisted, more than half served in the Canadian Army. Most were assigned jobs involving traditional female work such as cooking, laundry and clerical duties, but women also pioneered roles in the mechanized and technical fields. The Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) performed essential services, both at home and overseas, that helped bring about Allied victory.
