Peter Hore: Churchill’s WRENS & The ‘Y’ Service WWII

Posted on: Mon 6 Dec 2021

Retired Royal Navy Captain Peter Hore’s research for his latest book took him to far-flung places in his quest to uncover the extraordinary achievements of some very brave and dedicated women… the WRENS (Women’s Royal Naval Service). The result is the extraordinary previously untold story of the Y service, a secret even more closely guarded than Bletchley Park.
