For Canada Day today, which celebrates the 1867 founding of the Canadian Confederation, we have a view of Canada's women service personnel during World War II in this National Film Board newsreel Canada Carries On, an episode called "Proudly She Marches" (1944).
It shows the varied duties and training of the women in Canada's different uniformed services, where ex-salesgirls, librarians, teachers, and students helped win the war. It took everybody to get the job done.
Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north, and thank you to a generation of ladies who kept fascism off our continent.
