Mum's Army

During the Second World War, young trainee nurse Winifred Phillips confided to her RAF boyfriend George Wheeler that she rather liked the idea of joining the Army herself ... Enlisting in the ATS in 1948, she embarked upon twenty-two years' service in that and the WRAC, travelling the globe and reaching the rank of Warrant Officer Class Two. From dodging NCOs whilst eating illicit fish and chips, to dispatching invading snakes - and ultimately becoming one of the first two women to be admitted to the Royal Hospital as Chelsea Pensioners - this is Philly's story.
