Product Description
Mabel Winifred Redwood completed these memoirs at the age of 80, a few months before she died. She was born in 1895 and remembers vividly the horrors of both World Wars. With their three daughters they spent two years in Hong Kong (1927-1929) and returned there in 1938 where they were caught up in the Japanese attack on the colony in 1941. Mabel gives a straightforward account of her experiences as an auxiliary nurse during the battle and the three and a half years she spent in internment thereafter. Her narrative typifies her unfailing good humour and determination always to make the best of everything that life offered.
