Title: Personal memory of Susan Aaron:

Description: "Aunt Maud, Uncle Joe's wife went into munitions at Barnbow, as Uncle Joe was in the forces. It began to be common to see young women with bright yellow skins, from being in the powder room at the munitions factory. One girl along the street was deep yellow, and died. I never go to York Minster without going in to open the panel with the names of women who died serving their country, for there is the name Elsie Oates, such a quiet timid girl."
