A great-grandmoth-er who served as a Wren during the Second World War has described how celebrations for VE Day were happy occasions but limited by ongoing rations.
-
Mabel Kidney, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, was only 13 when the war started, and after she joined the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) at the age of 17, she was based at HMS Daedalus in nearby Lee-on-the-Solent.
The 99-year-old said: "I joined the Wrens to see the world and I ended up over there."
Ms Kidney, who lives at the Admiral Jellicoe House care home run by The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust (RNBT), described how she was in the barracks when the end of the war was announced but she said there were no major celebrations because they were still in a military environment.
