Patricia Massy (née Nettelfield) came of age during the Second World War. Her experiences were unique but not uncommon — working for the British Intelligence core, enduring the Battle of Britain and getting married during wartime, before travelling to Canada as a war bride on the Queen Mary with her first newborn in 1946. Courier editor Michael Kissinger sat down with his feisty 93-year-old grandmother on Saltspring Island last week to record her recollections of the war.
