My mother born in 1920 was a young woman in the Second World War years. She worked "in service" for a family cleaning fetching carrying she worked in the kitchen helping the cook. She also drove a large milk truck which picked up milk from the farms. . Sadly she died 43 years ago. My Father died just after Christmas this year and while clearing their house I found a book of my mothers Post war kitchen by Marguerite Patten O B E. This book was published in 2001. I expect it was bought for her as a present .The food and facts in it are post war from 1945 -1954. She was nostalgic for those times when she was a young wife and mothers my sister born 1950 myself ...
