Over the years Daphne Dangerfield, known to her friends as Daff, has reminisced about her time spent in the WAAF from 1942 - 1946, some good times, some bad.
Daff and her husband Maurice are now in their 80's and last year sadly, due to ill-health, had to move from their lovely home in East Grinstead, where they had lived since 1960 and brought up their two children. During the move to a flat, only ¼ mile away, she was re-united with a number of photos and diaries from her time in the WAAF.
Over the years the diaries had become very tatty and almost unreadable in places. She realised that the only way to preserve the content, while her memory was still good, would be to put it all onto computer, so she asked her daughter Sue Edwards, who owns a secretarial service Virtual Assistant Sussex to help. After reading some of the entries Sue suggested making them into a book, as a lot of interesting and often funny details were logged, including many names of friends and pictures she sketched during her free time (she still paints and sells lovely pictures!).

So, after doing some research, 'Memoirs of a WAAF' was born and the paperback
is due to be published early in 2010.
Sue has in the past typed up memoirs for several customers, usually simply to give to family and friends, but can ultimately be made into a book for publication if required.
'Memoirs of a WAAF' is available to reserve - for more information please visit: http://sites.google.com/site/waafmemoirs/, or call Sue on (01825) 761890.
