Winifred Phillips was born in Ilford, Essex, in 1926, one of four children. Sent to a convent boarding school, which she loathed, she trained as a nursery nurse & met George Wheeler, a 19-year-old RAF trainee wireless operator. The pair fell in love & spent a happy year together, only to say goodbye in 1943 before he was sent on bombing missions to Germany. They kept in touch with regular letters but he went missing in 1944 & nobody knew what happened to him. Determined to see something of the world, Winifred joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service in 1948 & enlisted in the Women's Royal Army Corps a year later. For the next two decades she travelled the globe & reached the rank of Warrant Officer Class 2. Her story offers a unique insight into the lives of female service personnel in the 1950s & '60s.

In 2009, after ten years of campaigning, Win became the first ever female Chelsea Pensioner to be accepted at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where she lives today. ...
