Montreal woman marries eight soldiers

During WWII women would sometimes love soldiers so much that they'd marry several of them at the same time. The military boys would get some shore leave and have an instant romance and bang, she's got a ring on her finger. Irene Hornby, left, of Montreal had eight such hubbies at once. As a military wife she received $28 a month from the government, plus another $22 per month from her new hubbie. Her fifty bucks a month, times eight saw her raking in $400 per month, big money for 1944. She was sentenced for four years in jail but the money was never recovered.
