CURTIS-WILLSON, Rosemary. c/o GPO London: With the Women’s Royal Naval Service Overseas. viii, 191p., frontis. London:  Hutchinson, [1949].

Charming autobiographical account of service in the Wrens in World War II though somewhat overburdened in places with travelogue.  The author joined in 1941 as a young girl and served mainly overseas, in the Middle East, Quebec (briefly) and Ceylon (Katukurunda), ending the war as a Third Officer.  She was also involved for a while in the planning for D-Day at Fort Southwick.
