Anne Wood was born in Langford, Ireland; she married John Wood, aCanadian bomber pilot and together they had four children. Anne voluntarily entered the war, not to fight, but to be of help and to defend her country. She entered with one of her best friends, who became a nurse. Anne wanted to be more involved, so she became a motor transport driver. She presently lives in the Sunnybrook Veterans’ Wing, where she spoke with Caroline Murphy in November 2008.
