By accepting the salute at the Wynnum Anzac Day march, Colonel Edna Doig of Manly, probably became the first woman to take an Anzac Day salute in Queensland. The National Returned Services League (RSL) president, Sir William Keys, said Edna was the only Australian wiman he knew of who had taken the salute at Anzac Day marches in the nation. Edna has also accepted it twice before, both in Victoria. These three occasions appear to the the only break in the historically male-santioned tradition, apart from Queen Elizabeth's acceptance if the salute on her visits to Australia. Edna, who was Matron-in-chief and Director of the Australian Army Nursing Service during her 29 year career in the army, was born in Brisbane and joined the army in 1939.
