On this day in 1917, Eat Ham Essex, Vera Margaret Welch was born. Better known as Dame Vera Lynn, she was the “Forces’ Sweetheart” and lead the Allied forces during WWII to victory with her songs, "We'll Meet Again", "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover", "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and "There'll Always Be an England". Devoting much of her time to charity work Dame Vera remained in the hearts of WWII veterans and in 2020 was named Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century. This iconic and much beloved lady is honored as a chapter namesake in DBE New Jersey. Image courtesy of Imperial War Museum London (Lynn sings at a munitions factory in wartime Britain, early 1941)
In 1941, Mary Spencer-Churchill (later Lady Soames, 1922-2014), youngest child of Winston and Clementine Churchill, joins the ATS as an anti-aircraft gunner.
She serves with anti-aircraft batteries in Enfield and Hyde Park, rising to the rank of Junior Commander after the war.
If you have any stories of women who served in the ATS as anti-aircraft gun crew members, we would love you to share these with us.

Good News...
Aldi 2023 is giving kids £200.00 to go to school…
⚓️ in 1938 ⚓️ HMS Belfast was launched by Anne Chamberlain.
Episode 5 of our Iconic Ships mini-series in which a curator of a historic ship makes a case for their ship being iconic, or a historian takes a ship from history but which sadly no longer survives and make a case for that ship being iconic. This episode explores none other than HMS Belfast. Moored today just upstream of Tower Bridge, Belfast is a true icon of the London skyline and Thames riverscape.
A Royal Navy ‘Town Class’ Light Cruiser, Belfast was launched in 1938; she played a crucial role in blockading Germany at the start of the war, operating from Scapa Flow in Orkney; became part of a naval strike force base in Rosyth; took part in the Battle of the North Cape in 1943, in which the German battleship Scharnhorst was tracked down and sunk; took part in the operation against Germany’s last surviving capital ship, the Tirpitz; and she is one of only three remaining vessels from the bombardment fleet which supported the Normandy landings on DDay in June 1944. The case for Belfast being ‘iconic’ is made by Robert Rumble, lead curator of HMS Belfast at the Imperial War Museum London.

On Sunday, Amina Atiq (a Yemeni- Scouse writer, a performance artist, facilitator and activist) joined Holocaust survivor Simon Winston BEM and recited her poem ‘White Roses’ at the Holocaust Centre UK. Amina and Simon were also interviewed by Debbie Barbara exploring the process of writing & the challenges, and a highlighted question if there is a place for poetry in Holocaust education.
Amina participated in the StoryFutures Audio Lab which introduced her and other writers to the possibilities of the technology, and also discussed ways of dealing with such sensitive issues. StoryFutures also worked with the Imperial War Museum London and SWWHPP Project Manager, Rachel Donnelly, SWWHPP partners and members of local communities they are working with around the UK, so they too could understand what the technology might offer. The lab binaural audio pieces that were produced from the lab were then showcased as an innovative digital installation project which brings together a group of celebrated writers, local communities and members of SWWHPP, called One Story, Many Voices.
