WRENS ( Women’s Royal Naval Service) in the war
I think it's a river foil used to go up the, the land area and
the WRENS, Canadian WRENS, established a, a barracks on the
shore line. They had a barracks and a radio station. They were
cracker jacks at radio, the WRENS, and I'm sure the army had the
same thing. But now they didn't go to sea, they were inshore
station, but they were good. And we used to sail past there,
either going out to sea from Londonderry or coming into
Londonderry from Canada. We had to go, the river went right by
their station and everything else and they, those, those WRENS
if they, they were all in radio so they knew when a ship was
coming in and when it wasn't. They knew before the generals did,
the admirals. And they had big clothes lines in front of the
station and they used to hang out their, their bras and their
panties and was all there, and as we're sailing by they'd wave.
That, it sounds silly in a way, but it wasn't. It, it, it took
us right into the war at the ground level.
