Hadfield-Spears Unit...

" Carolann Smith-Dorrien March 19, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I have just purchased Rachel Millet’s “Spearette” as my mother, Cynthia Toulmin as well as my Godmother Barbara Graham and their great friend Rosaleen Forbes and Kit Tatham Warner (known as KT)all served together in the Hadfield-Spears Ambulance Unit. I was thrilled to find them all mentioned in the book, as well as my late father, Peter Smith-Dorrien – and even me as their “small daughter”! I also met both May Spears and her husband General Louis Spears in their flat in Eaton Square, London SW1 probably around 1952.
They were a brave,feisty, humorous, inventive, utterly wonderful group of women who deserve to be remembered for their extraordinary and selfless contribution to the war effort -we shall not see their like again. The BBC broadcast a programme called Tin Hats and Silk Stockings in 1989 (I think) about some of these amazing women, including those named above. If anyone is interested I have a DVD of this which could be copied. Lest we forget. Carolann"
