In 1945 a Mrs Kathleen Saunders of Palmers Green won a wartime Sunday Pictorial competition, having been nominated by her husband. In answer to the question, ‘who is the perfect woman to come home to’, Sgt Saunders, away on active service, wrote in his winning letter, “Exactly why she is the one world in the girl for me I cannot explain ….I feel proud that behind our [wartime] efforts are wives like mine who have made our lives so happy.”
