A nostalgic and amusing account of the social and cultural history at the end of the 1970s. Everything from John Noakes and Soda Streams to C60 tapes and K-Tel. My Diary 1979 will take you on a nostalgic and amusing trip down memory lane, a glimpse of life back then, through the eyes of an 11 year old schoolgirl living on a farm in the South Wales Valleys town of Abertillery. Those born in the 60s and 70s will delight in memories of Alba cassette players, chipmunk crisps, spacedust popping candy, dunkie jackets, cheesecloths, Blue Jeans and Bunty comics, John Craven’s Newsround and weekly updates of the number one chart singles. 1979 was the year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, the news was full of the Yorkshire Ripper, the Skylab fell into the Indian Ocean, and Lord Mountbatten was assassinated by an IRA bomb.

Those living in and around Abertillery will be reminded of Ty’r Graig school and life ‘up the comp’. Extracts from the diary were first released on Facebook last year, and built up a devoted following. Reactions to it included: ‘My husband and I have laughed aloud, shed the odd tear and been reminded of things we thought were long forgotten.’ ‘It’s been such a pleasure to walk down memory lane with you and your diary.’ ‘Have laughed a lot and commiserated … Brilliant!’ ‘Thanks for a lovely reminder of days gone by.’ and ‘Can’t stop laughing!’

Sisters in Captivity
Author: Colin Burgess
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 176110909X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
The incredible account of Sister Betty Jeffrey OAM and the Australian war nurses who survived the bombing of evacuation ship SS Vyner Brooke in February 1942, and subsequently spent three years in Japanese prison camps in Sumatra. During those perilous years surviving in squalid conditions, Sister Jeffrey kept a secret diary of day-to-day events which, after the war, was turned into a hugely successful book and radio serial: White Coolies. She would often write of the powerful sisterhood that evolved as the prisoners of war took strength from each other, even forming a vocal orchestra. White Coolies was a major inspiration for the 1997 film Paradise Road. Sisters in Captivity builds on those diaries to not only re-live the years the nurses spent as POWs but also recounts the early life and influences that encouraged Betty Jeffrey into the field of nursing as a lifelong endeavour. A tireless advocate for returned nurses, she co-founded the Australian Nurses Memorial Centre with sole survivor of the Banka Island Massacre, fellow POW, and her longtime friend Vivian Bullwinkel. Featuring 32 pages of photos including personal mementos of Betty Jeffrey, courtesy of her family, and her drawings from the prison camps, this is a powerful account of women’s resilience amidst the devastating brutality of war.
