I am funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and am researching for a PhD on ‘Homosexuality and military authority in the British Armed Forces, 1939–1945’. Principally, I am interested in exploring the experiences of gay and lesbian service personnel during the Second World War. However, part of my research examines medical, social and military understanding of homosexuality and lesbianism in the 1940s. Therefore, I would like to correspond with or interview medical personnel who practised or served during the Second World War. I would like to hear from anybody who encountered or treated homosexual service personnel inside and outside of the Armed Forces in that period or from anybody who served on a medical board. I would also be interested to hear from anybody who could contribute references to sources or offer any further leads. Complete confidentiality is assured. Please contact: Ms Emma Vickers, Department of History, Furness College, University of Lancaster, Lancaster, LA1 4YG (email ).
