✅After months of the German blitz, London was still very much London. Damage had certainly been done. Churches, hospitals, historic buildings and the homes of ordinary people had been destroyed, but London’s heart was still beating strongly. Tall buildings still rose in the sky, people and traffic still crowded the pavements and roads of the greatest city in the world. Then the Americans arrived…The US War Department said this when they came to Britain in 1942: ‘British women have proved themselves in this war. They have stuck to their posts near burning ammunition dumps, delivered messages on foot after their motor-cycles have been blasted from under them. There isn’t a single record of any British woman in uniformed service quitting her post, or failing in her duty. When you see a girl in uniform with a bit of ribbon on her tunic, remember she didn’t get it by knitting socks.’ Janice Anderson has collated archive photos of the time with historical extracts and a fascinating commentary of life in Britain during WW2.
