Convoys in and out of Halifax transferring troops in preparation for D Day.
On May 8, 1945, VE Day, Isobel watches from her second floor room at the Waverley on Barrington Street as people riot in the streets.
In the harbour, troop ships arrive carrying the victorious survivors, and UBoats surrender.
By VJ Day, more than half the staff have been shipped home. Isobel stays on to document the war for the official record.
