Summary edit

Description
English: Veronica Foster, an employee of John Inglis Co. Ltd. and known as "Ronnie, the Bren Gun Girl" posing with a finished Bren gun in the John Inglis Co. Ltd. Bren gun plant, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This photo is an excellent example of official government coverage of workers at home during the Second World War. First produced in 1937, the Bren Gun became one of the most widely used machine guns of its kind and was a staple for line troops during the Second World War.

Veronica Foster is depicted here as in other photos posing in a provocative manner, caressing the Bren gun while exhaling cigarette smoke.
