I will need to send cover and paperback ISBN Lady Frederica Rozelle Ridgway Pierrepont was the youngest and only surviving child of Gervas, 6th Earl Manvers. She was 14 when he inherited his title and moved to the grandeur of Thoresby Hall in Nottinghamshire. World War 2 was in progress. Rozelle was desperate both to escape and to serve. Finally, aged 17, she was eligible to join the WRNS as a Stoker, though bewildered by the task of making her own bed. In the months before D-Day, 65152 Wren Stoker Pierrepont scrubbed decks, greased engines, delivered men and supplies to the growing invasion fleet, drank rum, danced with sailors and made friends. Returning home at the end of 1945 felt like a tragedy. Maid Matelot is a touching coming-of-age story which offers a young woman’s perspective on a memorable moment in history.
