Love, duty and true-life adventure in the shadow of the Second World War

"A WW2 heroine." - Dan Snow

Christian Lamb is one of the last surviving Wren Officers to have served throughout the Second World War, from Blitz ravaged London, to the important Radar and Operations rooms and undertaking a vital role in D Day.

Escaping both the Spanish Flu pandemic when she was born and the pandemic we are emerging from today, she has reached the impressive age of 101. Now she leads us through the story of her extraordinary life and the wartime experiences of her fellow Wrens.

Christian Lamb was born in Scotland in 1920. The daughter of an Admiral, she was among the first of the Wrens to join in WW2. Now 101, Christian and her late husband, Lieutenant John Lamb DSC, have three children, seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Gardening and plant history are her passions. She is a well-respected lecturer on the history of plants and has self-published three books on plant history and expeditions.
