During World War 1 II, a lot of young women in Britain 2 were in the army 3. Joan Phillips was 4 one of them. She worked in a big camp 5, and of course 6 met a lot of men, officers 8 and soldiers 9.
One evening she met Captain 10 Humphreys at a dance. He said 11 to her, "I‘m going 12 abroad 13 tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could 14 write to each other." Joan agreed 15, and they wrote 16 for several 17 months.
Then his letters stopped, but she received 18 one from another officer 7, telling her that he had 19 been wounded 20 and was in a certain 21 army hospital in England.
Joan went there and said to the matron, "I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys."
"Only relatives 22 are allowed 23 to visit patients 24 here," the matron said.
"Oh, that‘s all right," answered Joan. "I‘m his sister."
"I‘m very pleased 25 to meet you," the matron said, "I‘m his mother!"
在第二次世界大战中，有许多年轻的妇女在军营中服役。琼.飞利浦斯是其中之一。她在一个大军营中工作，当然遇到了许多男士，包括军官和士兵。
一天晚上她在舞会上遇到了军官汉弗雷斯。他对她说，“我明天就要出国，但如果我们能够相互写信，我会很高兴。”琼同意了，于是他们几个月里一直通着信。
后来，他再没有来信。她收到了另一个军官的信，告诉她，他受伤了，住在英格兰的某个部队医院里。
琼到了医院，她对护士长说，“我来看望军官汉弗雷斯。”
“这里只有亲属可以探望病人。”护士长说。
“噢，是的，”琼说，“我是他的妹妹。”
“很高兴认识你，”护士长说，“我是他的母亲。”
