As it celebrates this momentous birthday, we take a closer look at the history of the Girls’ Brigade
A journey through the Girls’ Brigade physical archives is a journey through time. It’s a small room tucked away at headquarters, which could be mistaken for a storage cupboard filled with donations from previous members and volunteers.
