Description

This is the autobiography of Winifred Phillips, from her birth in Ilford, 1926 to her battle for the right for women to be admitted as In-Pensioners to the prestigious Royal Chelsea Hospital for retired servicemen.

Her career in the forces allowed her to travel all over the world, from Egypt to Singapore to Cyprus and many exotic places in between, collecting interesting and humorous anecdotes on the way.

Her story offers a unique glimpse of the post-war life of a woman with courage, ambition and a genuine love for the beauty and diversity she finds in the world.

Despite witnessing suffering and loss, Winifred never lets hardship get in the way of fun and adventure and her refreshingly optimistic outlook on life coupled with an ardent desire to make the world a better place make this a must read.
