Books
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 Was 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 and lost, are all seen through her eyes in this lively collection of letters home.
