History
Louise B. Robertson (date of birth unknown), from' Leadcomerach Cottage', Bearsden, was enrolled for the 1918/1919 academic year at The Glasgow School of Art. Robertson intended to study Modelling as an evening student, however records indicate that she was not able to attend.
Robertson's occupation is simply listed as 'munitions.' This likely meant that she was recruited to work in a munitions factory as part of the war effort. 'Munitions' was the largest sector for female employment during 1918, as many women filled roles traditionally reserved for men. We may speculate that Robertson was unable to take up her studies due to this work commitment.
