Eve's War: The Diaries of a Military Wife During the Second World War

Autor Evelyn Shillington
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 dec 2018
In 1936 Evelyn Shillington started a diary, little knowing the years of turmoil this diary would cover, and how insightful her experiences as an army wife would be to the following generations.

Eve joined her beloved husband, Captain Rex Shillington, whenever she could on his postings during the war giving her a unique view into army life. Through the abdication crisis, to the turbulent years of the second world war and ending in war-ravaged Italy, Eve documented it all with an inimitable spirit and brave humour. Be it darning socks or assembling rifles, Eve threw herself into every challenge.

Forgotten in an attic, the diaries were almost thrown away - only some quick-thinking from an enterprising antiques dealer that rescued them. Published seventy years after Eve wrote in her diary for the last time, they offer a unique insight into life on the home front and a first-hand account that was almost lost forever.
