Beaver Lake Creek Overflow Ditch

  I'm thinking the map tool is putting this photo in the wrong spot, and shows the site in what is now Bellevue WA. Since there is a Beaver Lake in what is now the city of Sammamish, I think the photo is around here somewhere: maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=47.587263&lon=-122.0029...

  It is adding "Bellevue" to the location. I'll see how I can get that out of there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Women changing a tyre on a truck during World War II 1939

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  July 1940 in Brisbane alone there were six different organisations providing women with war-related training, the largest of which was the Queensland-based Women's National Emergency Legion. The federal government and military did not initially support women being trained to serve in the armed forces, however, and these organisations were not taken seriously by the general public. Many of these women were trained to undertake skilled work in traditionally male occupations in order to free servicemen for operational service. Women were also encouraged to work in industry and volunteer for air raid precautions duties or clubs for Australian and Allied servicemen. The female branches of the military were disbanded after the war. Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Australian_women_during_World_War_II
