Conville & Walsh

Over the course of a year, this book follows a group of women who are married to members of 2 Royal Welsh battalion. Witty, insightful and often moving, Kitty reveals the stories of the women behind the frontline. The mum’s who carry on bringing up their children whilst their husbands are thousands of miles away, and the fiances who plan their weddings without the help/interference of their betrothed. As Kitty traces her own journey from Army ingenue to fully-fledged Captain’s wife she introduces us to an incredible world that - unlike the military front line - is on all of our doorsteps. It is both a celebration of the unsung heroes of our current conflicts and an insight into a community that’s as strong as it is unique.
