Yet Margaret K. Turner of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, did participate in the war effort. Turner had been hired at Aberystwyth at the beginning of the war with the rank of Demonstrator, and, in a history of the Department, it was reported that Miss Margaret Turner and, later, J. B. Whitworth took up posts as demonstrators and under the direction of the professor carried out large-scale preparations of intermediates for certain essential drugs. 22... 

Of all the women chemists, Phyllis Violet McKie24 of the University College of Wales, Bangor, one of Orton s protegees, seems to have been the most productive during the war period. McKie was part of the team at Bangor producing paraldehyde.25 In addition, she devised a new method for the preparation of the explosive tetranitromethane for the Ministry of Munitions, and she studied methods of preparation of saccharin and vanillin for war purposes.26 Orton reported back to the War Committee ... 

McKie was on bom 18 July 1893, the daughter of William McKie, Clerk at the Pemyhyn Quarry Office. She was educated at the County School for Girls, Bangor, and entered the University College of Wales, Bangor, in 1912. McKie completed her B.Sc. in 1916, and was awarded an M.Sc. by research on the basis of her war work. A total of 12 publications resulted from the different directions of war research which she initiated at Bangor.
