After listening to his mother-in-law talking about her experiences
in the Second World War, David Bolton set out to record the wartime
memories of British women before it was too late. Many of those he
interviewed were child evacuees, some were single mothers, two were
ambulance drivers and another was the girlfriend of an American GI
killed on D-Day. Other women remembered their experiences working
as a young doctor in a POW camp, in a munitions factory filling
shells or as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park. War Stories archives
the memories of over fifty women in their own words, supplemented
by memoirs and diary entries. All tell their very personal war
stories with honesty, humour, an amazing memory for detail and a
boldness sometimes bordering on the confessional - perhaps because
this was their last chance to describe what it was really like to
be female in those extraordinary times.
