WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES

 My name is Maureen Dickson, It is my wish to raise funds to complete and publish a book about young women around the world who joined the armed forces. some disguised themselves as men in the 16th Century to join the war, to the young Caribbean women of colour who fought for Britain in WWII and beyond, but whose stories remained untold.

​

​These Caribbean servicewomen were rejected many times, but paid their fare to travel to England and stood their ground until they were accepted. They were written out of history then; however, we must not write them out of history now. We must tell their stories, as, without them, we would have lost an essential part of history.
