I just stumbled across this picture of the workers taking a break, and see my mother Patty Jones, 7th from the right, plus her sister Nita Jones. They would have been barely 20 years old and rode their push bikes from Charlmont street to Gallaway St in all weather and darkness. Their father Andrew (Kuku) and sister Olive also worked there.

Hi Robyn, Thank you for this information. It's great when we can add names to groups of people. Please do let us know of any other photos your mother is in - there are a few of the ammunition factory. Thank you.
