Carol Brooks rose from Officer Cadet to Commanding Officer during the years when women leaders were few and far between! She also worked on the Line of Communication when NATO entered Kosovo. She has many interesting experiences and stories to tell.

Many members enjoyed her talk about her 27 years in the Territorial Army during the fascinating period when women moved from the Women’s Royal Army Corps into mainstream service, and as the TA moved from primarily home service to operational service overseas. During that period she held a day job as a Library Manager giving her a broad range of experience with people and services.

Carol went to work with children in a Refugee Camp for Burmese Karen in 2005 and they found a place in her heart. All fees for her talks go to the charity she founded in 2010, all4burma
