I wonder who Miss J Brown was?
Snapped in 1944 by Clifton Firth 1904-1980, she gazes past the photographer's lens in her Military Red Cross uniform. The website includes "8 Caroline Court," which I wonder if that was her address?
I wonder what her story was and her connection with the World War II, 1939-1945.
This photo was only just added to the online collection in July 2026. It is so helpful to have these online, to help people with access to a screen access our history of people and places of the past... now to find out about her story... maybe you know who she was?
