Summary[edit]

Description
English: Women's National Emergency Legion driver, Miss Tony Mitchell, at Somerville House in Brisbane, 1942

Miss Tony Mitchell was the personal driver for Brigadier General Donaldosn who was the U.S. army commander of base section number 3 headquarters at Somerville Houxe. She is standing in front of the command car. (Description supplied with photograph.).

Some women drove for the Americans during World War II and belonged to an Australian organisation called the Women's National Emergency Legion. They were engaged to drive for the United States Army, through the Transportation Section 81st Air Depot Group, which was based in the Valley Motor Pool and later at Eagle Farm. The women chosen were very efficient drivers as they had to drive American left hand drive cars, sometimes for long distances. They were also responsible for chauffeuring high ranking officers around Brisbane.
