Gladys Yates
We met Gladys when she visited the Luton primary school as part of the education we’re creating around the significance of the Second World War convoys. She’s a Chatham Wren born and bred and absolutely loved her work as an Officer Steward in the barracks where amongst other duties she would wake the men and provide their morning tea.
