This is a wonderful story - detailing many aspects of a Navy WAVES* (of course from WW2) as told by her granddaughter (Larisa) and also some details from her own diary during that era. You’ll hear about her life before enlisting, much about her life as a WAVES and nurse serving the Navy, and then finally some about her adjustments to life after the war. This woman is affectionately known by her family as "GG" - for great-grandmother. Larisa took GG's diary (in Spring of 2022) and recorded audio excerpts, originally posted to her Twitter site (@history_dame). The complete set is now at this link and I encourage my listeners to tune into this, after hearing this episode.
*Or sometimes seen as "WAV" for an abbreviation for WAVES, stood for: Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service .
Here is the link to History Camp, in which Larisa participates as an enthusiastic volunteer.
At this time, my basic podcast website is at this link - with the full list of all my podcasts. These are available on all podcast platforms (Apple, Spotify, Google, and more... ). My Instagram site is at this link, where I'll post related images for this episode. (account is: phihpod). If you see the image of "GG" and the two other WAVES's, GG is the lovely, smiling young lady on the right.
