War Time Women


Cover of 'War Time Women'

After three books about brave allied soldiers, sailors and airmen, during World War Two, My Dad, My Hero, Forgotten Heroes and A Will To Live, Michael Bentinck was compelled to write a book about the ladies who were left behind during the war and took up the challenge of "Digging For Victory". Many of these ladies were plucked from very comfortable city lives and thrown into the unknown, working on farms with animals and equipment that they knew nothing about.

These ladies formed an Army of their own - The Women's Land Army. These dedicated women proved invaluable in keeping food on the tables of Britain during World War Two.

War Time Woman contains five true stories from five incredible ladies, Marion Andrews, Joyce Todd, Dorothy Pitfield, Mary Chambers and Dora Ellis. The foreword to the book is written by the actress Kathy Staff and along with the stories the book also contains a photograph and letters section.

Michael Bentinck, and his wife, Hilary, have always donated part of the proceeds from their work towards charities, and on this occasion part of the proceeds from the sale of War Time Women is going to the wholly appropriate, research into breast cancer and the after care.

War Time Women contains 152 pages, including a letters and photographs section.
