Women on the Frontline: July 2003

Thursday, July 10, 2003

This website is dedicated to the many women who have been killed whilst serving in foreign countries on behalf of their governments or for Humanitarian aid organisations.

The women you see and read about here all died whilst working overseas. Many of them died in hostile war zones, others died trying to help make the world a better place. Some were killed in combat, some in accidents.

As time progresses, and inevitably there are more conflicts around the world, we will be monitoring them.

Remembering the Fallen Heroines!
