'June 6th: Extra! Extra! Extra! June 6th. D-Day! It's happened. At last. My heart has beaten like a slow drum in my chest the whole day without cease since we heard the news. A most extraordinary reaction. Who is on the landing beaches - some getting killed this instant - men we've danced with maybe. Longlegs? Sure to be there. What about Anton? l haven't heard from him for a long time, nor he from me, I admit it. Armadas of ships of every size and kind are in action off France today. Joe doesn't know when his outfit is to pull out. We kept feeling each other's hearts tonight because we were so astonished they wouldn't stop that slow excitement/dread thumping.' From Belfast to Berlin, this captivating diary traces one Dublin woman's vivid depiction of her life as a soldier. The immediacy and adventure of army life, the excitement of wartime Europe, poignant letters from soldier boyfriends who would never return from battle. Amidst all of this, the fun and friendship of Romie and her companions - a happy-go-lucky gang of young women embarking upon life in a man's world. Army dances packed with eager GIs: war-weary colonels and majors who softened to chat with the young Irishwoman driving them across battle-scarred Europe: 'displaced persons' and concentration camp victims trekking for hundreds of miles to find their former homes... Romie Lambkin's compelling diary tells a singular story.

Her memories as a trainee staff car driver are vivid, her adventures sometimes hair-raising and the friendships she formed, life-long. One of the things that makes this book so engaging is the character of Romie herself. In some ways she seems ahead of her time; more of a feminist than we are sometimes lead to believe of women in the 30s and 40s, up for any experience and all described in a warm and idiosyncratic style. If you are at all interested in the role women (and ordinary soldiers for that matter) played in WW2, this is a recommended read.(Reader review).
