Raised on the family farm, she is prevented by her mother Lilian from going to secretarial college after leaving the local grammar school - although nothing is too good for her brother Tom. Determined to do her bit, Carolyn leaves to join the ATS, where she meets Beryl Morley, who will become a lifelong friend. After their basic training, Carolyn and Beryl are posted to Beaumanor Hall as 'listeners', intercepting enemy messages which are then sent to Bletchley Park for deciphering.
