Queen and country : same-sex desire in the British armed forces, 1939-45

Vickers, Emma2015
Books, Manuscripts
'Queen and country' examines the complex intersection between same-sex desire and the British armed forces during the Second World War. It illuminates how men and women lived, loved and survived in an institution which, at least publicly, was unequivocally hostile towards same-sex activity within its ranks. It also tells a story of selective remembrance and the politics of memory, exploring specifically why same-sex desire continues to be absent from the historical record of the war.
