Description: | Three ms diaries (330pp) covering her volunteer canteen work in the Third Army YMCA Rest Camp at St Valery-sur-Somme, France, June - October 1918, including detailed accounts of her daily life and routine in the camp and of her social activities off duty, with occasional brief but interesting references to the war on the Western Front, relationships between women volunteers and officers in the camp, and both the camp staffs' and her own attitude towards womens' war work. The diaries were used as the basis of her semi-autobiographical novel WE THAT WERE YOUNG (Republished by Virago Press, 1988).
