Gladys “Anne” Robson, age 108, former army major and Britain’s oldest female WWII veteran, lived through 20 prime ministers, 4 monarchs and 1st space launch
Gladys Anne Logan Robson – known as Anne- passed away at a care home in Scotland earlier this week. Mrs Robson, who was also the oldest surviving member of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) and the Women’s Royal Army Corps (WRAC), was born in September 1911.
She lived through 20 prime ministers, four monarchs, the first space launch and the advent of new technology, not to mention two world wars. She is said to have had fond memories of VE Day – and always had a ‘naughty twinkle in her eye’ remembering the victory celebrations.

Forever in their debt. RIP great lady.
Thank you for giving your all when you served. Rest In Peace beautiful lady
Respect to a lady whom did her bit – It is so sad to see that generation go .
Oh What a shame, bless her. All of those memories gone forever
Why do we only hear about these heroes once they died? Why not celebrate their service to the country when still with us so we can let them know how special they are? RIP
