Interviewed at her care home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Doris tells us about coming of age as WWII began, meeting husband Harry during the Blitz, her ATS service, and working for trade unions after the war.
Like so many, especially women, who served on the homefront, she never claimed the medals to which she was entitled. So Dan put that right, at the end of the interview, presenting Doris with an original Defence and War Medal pair. As well as an Armed Forces Veteran's Badge.
Thank you for your service Pte Rose D W184031! (Yes, of course she remembers her service number).
AJEX would like to thank Doris's son John, and Ben Conway at the Jewish Chronicle, for helping to facilitate this episode.
