The Doughnut Girl

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Sally Peters was one of many doughnut girls.
She joined the American Red Cross in 1943 and soon afterwards found herself in a mobile bakery, making doughnuts for GIs in wartime
Britain. She crossed to
France within days of the D-Day landings and shared in the joy and sadness of the months of Liberation. Her letters home were preserved by her mother and now, selected and edited by ALAN A. RICHARDSON , they tell the moving story of one
American girls experience of the Second World War.
