Eve's War

Evelyn Shillington’s diaries, begun in 1935, provide a vivid and personal account of her life during a period of intense historical upheaval, including the abdication crisis and World War II. Covering her experiences alongside her husband, Captain Rex Shillington, the diaries offer a rare glimpse into army life and the home front through her spirited and humorous perspective. Discovered in an attic and published 70 years later, these writings preserve an authentic and nearly lost view of a significant era.
