Thursday's dedication will acknowledge the World War One efforts of Christina Stevenson Carrol Caldow
A Dumfries munitions girl is to be honoured by having her name added to the Maxwelltown War Memorial on Thursday.
Now that is being corrected with Dumfries and Maxwelltown branch of Legion Scotland heading the outdoor service which follows Christina’s name being inscribed on the Scottish National War Memorial in 2019 – 104 years after her death. The factory initially opened in 1913 to build cars but had to convert to munitions work with the outbreak of war and at the time of Christina’s death was making aeroplane wings.
“We know she must have been a conscientious worker, because the best work was done by girls who put their eyes close to the fabric they were painting with the dope. Records show the factory had undertaken to improve ventilation and the matter was considered to be a most tragic one-off incident.
