A Wren at War

Christian Lamb
One of the last surviving Wrens to have served throughout the war, Christian Lamb recalls her remarkable experiences. Having joined the navy at nineteen she was posted to Operations and Radar in Belfast, where at one point she had to track her fiancé’s escape from a U-Boat ‘wolf pack’, before she was transferred to Whitehall to work on top-secret D-Day preparations.

"A WW2 heroine." - Dan Snow



Love, duty and true-life adventure in the shadow of the Second World War



Christian Lamb is one of the last surviving Wren Officers to have served throughout the Second World War, from Blitz ravaged London, to the important Radar and Operations rooms and undertaking a vital role in D Day.



Escaping both the Spanish Flu pandemic when she was born and the pandemic we are emerging from today, she has reached the impressive age of 101. Now she leads us through the story of her extraordinary life and the wartime experiences of her fellow Wrens.
