Sheila Mills came from a sheltered middle class upbringing before she joined the WRNS in 1940. The working life of a women's naval officer in the Second World War was a hard one. The discipline and trials of living and working as a 'Wren' plunged her head first into a life of bed bugs, last minute travel, secrecy and huge responsibility. But while Sheila met with hard and exciting work during one of the world's most dangerous conflicts, she also found love, friendship, fun and the human spirit. Her fascinating encounters, assignments, events and, of course, the many loves she found or lost, are all seen through her eyes in this lively collection of letters home. A unique insight into the coming of age of a young girl in the 1940s, Sheila's letters will have readers laughing - and crying - at the extraordinary life of a young girl who travelled all over the world and witnessed key events in the War.
