The Gulf War was the first time that female Canadian Armed Forces members served in combat roles during a conflict. Women have been members of Canada’s militar...y for more than 120 years. For much of this time, however, they were not allowed to serve on the front lines. By the time the Gulf War began nearly every position in the CAF was open to women. That conflict would see female CAF members serving in roles that put them directly in the line of fire, such as on warships and in other units performing a variety of tasks. #FactFriday #CanadaRemembers http://ow.ly/X0O150Dqa1f
