520    Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Women's Studies. Still sassy,
       Doris Gregory takes the reader back over seventy years to 
       when she joined the Canadian Women's Army Corps during 
       WWII. Her memoir allows us to travel with her across the 
       Atlantic at the height of the U-boat infestation and to 
       take refuge in underground shelters while bombs fall on 
       London. Unlike most memoirs of the war that focus on 
       battles, Gregory shows the everyday mundane activities of 
       office life, working under some less-than-brilliant 
       supervisors. Gregory transforms what could have been a 
       dull soldier's life into one of small adventures: cycling 
       along traffic- free roads through southern England, the 
       midlands and Scottish lowlands, hopping on the ferry to 
       Ulster, slipping into neutral, forbidden Éire, and looking
       into the gun barrel of an angry German sentry. Although at
       times the war weighs heavily upon her, the author's 
       optimism, enthusiasm and sense of humor permeate this 
       memoir, full of laughter and surprises. -- Provided by 
       publisher.
