Marjorie Katherine "Mardie" Price MID

Auxiliary Territorial Service Canadian

from:Montreal, Quebec

My mother, Marjorie Price was the daughter of General Charles Basil Price. She served the entire war with the ATS and was married in Aldershot Garrison Church, Aldershot, England in September 1942? to Arthur Allen (Tim) Hugman who was with the 17th Duke of York, Royal Canadian Hussars. She was married with full military colours which I gather was unusual at the time.

She was awarded quite highly and mentioned in dispatches for her life-saving efforts at the bombing of the Cafe de Paris in London. Her shoes hurt so she was escorted off the dance floor just as the bomb hit. I don't have much more information. She was a driver and mentioned several times how dark and frightening it was waiting all hours at night for her charge. I would love to hear any more info on her.
