In this chapter, Mary arrives at Dulwich, Surrey, shortly after D-Day, and experiences the dissonance between the ongoing war and the seemingly normal social life of the FANYs. She grapples with the secrecy around the V-1 rocket attacks and the reality of war casualties while preparing to transport wounded soldiers from Dover. The chapter highlights the tension between hope for a swift end to the war and the grim realities faced by medical and transport units.
