Hard cover with damaged dust jacket; fair condition. Inscribed 1945.
Matilda Waltzes With the Tommies by Mary Kent Hughes is a lively and personal memoir of the author’s experiences as an Australian woman working with British soldiers (“Tommies”) during the Second World War. Drawing on her time providing hospitality and support to troops far from home, Hughes recounts the camaraderie, cultural exchanges, and emotional moments shared between Australians and servicemen amid the uncertainties of war. With warmth and humour, the book highlights the important role of morale-boosting efforts on the home front, while also offering a vivid glimpse into wartime society and the resilience of those who contributed behind the lines.
