1939, and the events that followed would change and shape the lives of millions. However, for many, there were positive experiences and memories which would last forever. Black Silk Stockings recounts the story of one 19 year-old girl and her memories of a whole new world, and of places and events which only the upheaval and demands of the Second World War would have made possible. From the days before the war, to joining the WRNS, based in Plymouth, Liverpool and Invergordon, through the Battle of the Atlantic, to posting in Alexandria in Egypt, and travelling through the Greek Islands to liberated Athens and to Jerusalem, Marjorie Corbett Lamb tells the story of her experiences.
