Book description: William Kimber, London, (1974).. 128 pp, 8vo, hard cover in dust jacket. Profusely illustrated with cartoons in black, white, blue and red. "Records of World War II are incomplete without a tribute to the 'Fighting Services Title-Abbreviating Department', and the inspired minds t. herein which christened the Women's Royal Naval Service the WRENS. Surely the dedicated brood - such invaluable handmaidens to Britannia in her wave-ruling activities - owes something to such a delightful title. Captain Jack Broome also feels . i n d e bted to the Department for enabling him to call his gay, witty book of illustrated verses about these fledglings 'Services Wrendered'...In their many roles, in dockyards, on parade grounds, driving cars, teleprinters, or motorboats with such. e nt hu si asm and apparent awe for naval tradition, gold braid and authority, there remained that beautifully balanced, built-in, not-so-subservient subservience..." Previous owners name on free front endpaper and on title page, slight color fadi. ng to to edg e of boards and boottrom edge of spine, minor wrinkles at top of spine. Dust jacket has slight browning at edges, minor edgewear/rubbing. VG/VG.
