Isobel Harling, nicknamed "wee Mac" by intelligence officers,served in the Women’s Royal Naval Service during World War 2. She has selflessly taken care of the graves of the Force K6 soldiers (known then as the pony boys) for over 70 years! In 2020 she was awarded the British Empire Medal in recognition of her efforts. 

In this episode, we sit down with Isobel's granddaughter, Geraldine Craig, to hear her story about her grandmother's acceptance of others, embracing diversity and her interactions with the soldiers and her trips to the highlands in motorbikes and ambulances.
