Mary Churchill's diaries with her daughter Emma Soames - The Oldie Podcast with Harry Bucknall

​Mary Churchill’s War, the Wartime Diaries of Churchill’s Youngest Daughter, were published at the end of September. 

In the diaries, the self effacing Mary Soames described herself as "a discontented served-up fat ATS officer who compared unfavourably with Hitler’s Rhine maidens" – anything could be further from the truth, as those fortunate to meet her will bear testament to her warmth, great sense of duty and ability to light up a room. 

In this edition of The Oldie Podcast, Harry Bucknall is joined by Emma Soames, editor supreme, and Mary’s daughter, who took on the challenging task of preparing Mary Churchill’s War for publication.

Mary Churchill’s War, published by TWO ROADS, is available on kindle, in audio and hardback, the latter price £20.00
