An excellent site, shots, and write up about a critical time in world history and a largely forgotten group of people who helped the Allies achieve victory.
In Britain during WW1, the women who worked in the ammo plants and turned yellow were called 'Canary girls'. Unfortunately it was more than just skin deep. It's disheartening to hear this continued into the WWII-era as well. The yellow coloring is caused by chronic exposure to TNT. Anyone who has handled nitro based explosives known of the headaches it can produce through skin absorption. Large amounts absorbed over long periods can permanently damage your health.
A steep price was paid by many of those workers for their war efforts.
