Youngest Woman Billeting Officer

1940 , Huntingdon (Cambridgeshire)

A newsreel item following a young, female billeting officer in her attempts to house evacuees.

Mrs Barbara Meadows, aged 19, hopes to succeed where 17 male predecessors have failed - by persuading the people of Huntingdon to take in evacuees. The young billeting officer calls at a house, and then explains to camera what providing this type of accommodation involves. She emphasises that she is not afraid to use 'compulsion'.
