Do you know someone who worked at Hobart's Optical Munitions Annexe 9/101 during World War II, or the later Waterworth Annexe ?
If so, we'd like to hear from you as we hope to build an Annexe employees database. At its height during 1943 more than 210 employees, mainly women, worked shifts around the clock at The Annexe. We have uncovered the names of some employees but would like to discover more staff and also learn more about the employees we have found. Can you help ? The Annexe Staff List so far :
