Devil’s Porridge is in Gretna and we went there on the 15.2.18. We got to hold WW1 things – we held a replica gun and helmets. It was the best part. Then we learned about the 9 mile factory that was built to make cordite that goes in shells and bombs and bullets. 11,000 Irish navvies went over to build the factory and 20,000 girls went to work there. We also learned about how the Gretna girls lived and what they did in there spare time. They had their own football and hockey and tennis teams.

I really enjoyed the trip and want to go again.
