Dorothy Brazier was a tailoress by profession and a member of the Salvation Army who rose to the rank of Major.

In 1934 she came to Hong Kong to take charge of a home for girls in Embankment Road. She was allowed to remain uninterned during the Japanese occupation and looked after about 80 girls.

She was repatriated to Britain at the end of the war. She wanted to return to Hong Kong but was forbidden to do so because of her poor health.
