Madge Lambert (née Graves) was born in Kent in 1923. At 94, she is one of the few remaining women to have served as a nurse during the Burma Campaign between 1944 and 1945, where she met her husband, Captain Basil Lambert. The couple share a love for dance to this day and appeared on a Strictly Come Dancing Remembrance Day special in 2016 after their love story inspired one of the professional dances. Her relationship with her husband also formed the source for her novel, Some Sunny Day. Robert 'Bob' Blair is the son of a RAF navigator who flew in the Burma Campaign and a WAAF mother who was stationed at Bletchley in the Second World War. He began his career on weekly papers and moved to the London Evening Standard before emigrating to Canada where he worked for the Ottawa Citizen, then to Hong Kong. After two years with the South China Morning Post Group he returned to London and spent thirty years with Mirror Group Newspapers. |
