| Summary, etc |
"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 nineteen 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." |
