“My Mummy Is A Soldier” : I think it’s nice to know that it’s not just Daddy who goes away, we do have a few children whose Mums are on active service at the moment. And I think they see that it’s important to other people beyond the forces community; that there is a whole book written about it gives them, some prestige, I suppose to know that other people out there recognise this is happening and it’s happening to real children and they are like the child in the story.” Marjorie Dean, Deputy Head at St George’s School, JHQ
