| Entry Text: | WELLS, Maureen. Entertaining Eric: Letters from the Home Front 1941–44. 176p., illus. London: Imperial War Museum, 1988. ISBN: 0901627410.
The author was a billeting officer who then joined the WRNS, first as a courier and then as a Wren stoker in the pre-invasion south of England. She had fallen in love with an Australian engineer serving with the RAF. He was posted to the Middle East and these extracts from her letters beautifully record the pains of separation and the vagaries of life at the Home Front. |
