From July 1941 to July 1945 more than 17,000 men and women toiled in a sprawling munitions factory in Scarborough manufacturing nearly 250 million fuses and primers to be used by the allies in World War II. Barbara Dickson (http://www.barbaradickson.ca/) has written Bomb Girls: Trading Aprons for Ammo, a history of the GECO plant.

Interludes feature music from the In the Blood CD by Kev Morse.
