Résumé
From the bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls and GI Brides, this is Kathleen's story, one of three true accounts from the book The Girls Who Went to War.
"Boxing Day was cold and frosty, and by the time Kathleen and the lads arrived at the football pitch she was already shivering. As they stood watching the game, Arnold silently took her hand and put it inside the pocket of his greatcoat. It was a small gesture, but it told her that she belonged to him now, and to Kathleen nothing had ever seemed so romantic."
In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against Germany.
The British Army stood at just over one and a half million men, while the Germans had three times that many, and a population almost twice the size of ours from which to draw new waves of soldiers. Clearly, in the fight against Hitler, manpower alone wasn't going to be enough. Nanny Kathleen Skin signed up for the WRNS, leaving her quiet home for the rigours of training, the camaraderie of the young women who worked together so closely and to face a war that would change her life forever. Overall, more than half a million women served in the armed forces during the Second World War.
This book tells the story of just one of them. But in her story is reflected the lives of hundreds of thousands of others like them - ordinary girls who went to war, wearing their uniforms with pride.
