Summary:
"From fire-watching during bombing raids in blacked-out London to surviving the sinking of a transport ship in the Mediterranean, 'We’ll Meet Again' shares the incredible stories of
women
from
Prince
Edward
Island
who served in the Second
World
War
. Drawn from interviews, diaries, letters, community histories and archival research, Dewar demonstrates how the on- and off-duty experiences these
women
had in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Canadian Army Medical Corps, the South African Military Nursing Service, and Red Cross tested their stamina, their courage, and their compassion. 'We’ll Meet Again' highlights women’s struggles to be recognized as valuable assets to the
war
effort and outlines the political and perceptional shifts that lead to the formation of the different women’s services. An appendix lists over 700
women
from PEI who served in the Second
World
War
, many of whom had never left the
Island
before attending basic training. They welcomed their new roles and responsibilities as cooks, drivers, nurses, writers, parachute packers, and entertainers. Many made lifelong friendships. A few of them even found love. After their return, many
women
continued to serve as public health nurses, dieticians, homemakers, and volunteers, making a lasting contribution to their communities."--Back cover.
