An online presentation I gave on 3 November 2024 on West Indian Women in World War Two. It includes my presentation, a presentation from Arthur Torrington, and then some Q&As.
I talk about the experience of Nadia Cattouse and other West Indians in the British armed forces, the Battle of the Caribbean and role of women like Connie Mark in the Auxiliary Territorial Service of the British army.
