    Hi

    Just wondering if anyone has any good sources of info regarding the Devil’s Porridge/HM Factory Gretna (other than the museum and Google/Wikipedia)?

    My great granny worked there and was awarded the BEM for services but we’re struggling to find any records or other more personal information.

    Many thanks

    They represent the museum, but put out a few interesting factory-specific nuggets, among what seems a more overt interest in industrial & feminist history.

    Not to overlook that there was "sister" factory just over the border at Longtown and I expect there was movement between the two (not my area of knowledge). There are a few threads on Longtown; more than on Gretna.

    Does a BEM award get a citation? Medals not my interest.
