An unbelievable true storyline of a young nurse working in the East End of London through the Second World Conflict. In 1938, 18-year-old Phyllis Ellsworth packages her hand bags, says good-bye to her anxious parents and cause from her silent seaside home for the Hackney Hospital in London's bustling East End, where she is to satisfy her dream to teach as a nurse. At first this is a whirlwind of long days and nights, hard work, new friends and lots of mischief, but just 10 a few months later Britain declares war on Germany, and life at a healthcare facility is changed. Phyll's days and nights become an endless pattern of air-raid sirens, wounded servicemen and anxiously looking forward to news of loved ones. So when she falls in love with a good looking young solider, Alistair, Phyll's work provides the only distraction from worrying about his safe practices. Bandaging the Blitz is a true story of arriving old in horrible times, of the blossoming of first romance into a life-long love affair, and of a young woman whose eagerness to do good in the planet brought her suddenly face to face with death and drama in all its many guises.
