In our novel there is an old butcher’s van, which has been given a paint job and is now a frontline ambulance.  The brave women who drive this ambulance, have given it a name; Boudicea.

This is a very clever reference in this chapter, where we first meet the strong, competent and independent women, who were to become an integral part of society after WW 1 and WW2.

So who was Boudicea?

Boudicca
