As an Irish woman, Romie Lambkin was under no obligation to serve in the Second World War. Frustrated with an office job, and with a keen sense of adventure, she crossed the Irish border. Making her way to Northern Ireland, she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service.
As a driver during the Second World War, Romie encountered many service personnel and visited several barracks. ‘My Time In The War’, her memoirs of the time present the reader with an Irish woman’s perspective on the era. This book is essential reading for anyone keen to learn about the role of women during the Second World War but it offers much more as Romie Lambkin’s personality and feminist spirit shine through
