'My mother was coffee-coloured and when I was born she was very pleased I was " off-white " and had fair hair. In an Anglo-Indian family when a child is born like that they say " a fairy was at her birth " ... Irene Green - now Mrs Irene Edwards - tells of the pride and prejudices of childhood in the much-maligned Anglo-Indian community and her adventurous time as a nursing sister on the North West Frontier in the early 30s.
