A unique memoir based on the wartime diaries of Maria Pilbrow, MBE, who, as a young newlywed, followed her army husband to India in 1943. There she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Services (Burma), an intrepid band of women who provided canteen services for the men of the Fourteenth Army during the Burma Campaign of the Second World War.

This is the first full-length book to acknowledge the Wasbies, as they were called, who worked tirelessly in appalling jungle conditions, but who today have all but disappeared from history: they have become the forgotten women of the Forgotten Army.

Copies of the book can also be purchased direct from the author which helps to raise funds for The Burma Star Association. Please email frontlineandfortitude@gmail.com
