Just published Memoirs of a WAAF

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 increasing immobility, 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 several years of diaries and a number of photos from her time served in the WAAF from 1942 to 1946.

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 Sue Edwards, 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 lovely pictures today!).

So, after a lot of hard work, including internet research and advice, 'Memoirs of a WAAF' was born and the paperback is to be published by the middle of November 2010.

To celebrate the publication we are holding a book launch at The Hop Barn, Uckfield on Friday December 10th from 7-9pm, where signed copies will be available, while savouring the atmosphere of one of the oldest buildings in Uckfield. It is also available to purchase by calling Sue at Virtual Assistant Sussex on (01825) 761890, or visit: http://www.WAAFmemoirs.
