The drivers are divided into two sections, and as I’m going to be a driver I’m in one of them. Our section leader is Corbett, and she’s a sergeant. She’s very friendly, though, and only gets bossy when someone’s slacking. And that’s not very often, I can tell you. These FANYs are a great group of girls. Bags of energy!

It’s quite a tiring life, though.

Another new girl, from the other section, and I had a little talk from her section leader, explaining the system for the wounded men. They’re treated first at a dressing station, then get sent to a casualty clearing station. From there they go either to the train or the canal quay to be transported down to us. That’s when we pick them up and deliver them to hospitals or the ships for home. Some of them don’t survive the journey, the section leader explained, so it’s obvious what sort of state they’re in, and we must be kind, compassionate and as gentle as possible. But we have to be firm, too.
