Description: | Annetta Foreman (b 1923) grew up in the East End in the years preceding the Second World War. Here, in conversation with Mary Richards of Bishopsgate Institute, she speaks of her experiences during the Second World War, initially working in the rag trade in the East End, and then as a cook in the RAF. During the Second World War, all of those not engaged in work considered vital to the war effort were liable to be called up and be assigned work. This included unmarried, childless women between the ages of 20 and 30, although women would not be assigned combat duties. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | work London at War | Temporal: | 2008 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
