Description

For thousands of young British girls, the influx of Canadian soldiers conscripted to Britain right through the Second World War meant throngs of handsome young men. The result was once over 48,000 marriages to Canadian soldiers on my own, and a mass emigration of British women to North The us and all over the world within the 1940’s.

For many brides, the decision to leave their circle of relatives and home to transport to a country thousands of miles away with a man they hardly knew brought forth ensuing happiness. For others, the outcome was once much different, and the darker side of the story reveals the infidelity, domestic violence, poverty, alcoholism and divorce that many lived through.

War Brides draws on original archival documents, personal correspondence, and key first hand accounts to inform the amazing story of the War Brides in their very own words-and shows the love, passion, tragedy and spirit of adventure of thousand of British women.
