How the book happened – the history that led to the final publication

In 2014 Daphne Tester – my Mum – agreed to let me publish her war diaries. She had written in her diary every day, in secret, while serving in the WAAF from 1942 to 1947. She had kept all seven diaries, , together with notes and funny little sketches (she was an artist later on in life!), tucked away in a drawer. Surprisingly she wasn’t caught, otherwise she would have been in serious trouble. More >

Memoirs of a WAAF books

There are 7 diaries in total, together with numerous notes and other memorabilia. It’s almost hard to believe it actually happened. Like looking into another fascinating world!
