Synopsis:

Anna Neagle is a WWII WREN---the counterpart of the American WAVE---who encounters Michael Wilding in a blacked-out Piccadilly during an air raid. They get married and have a two-day honeymoon before she is sent to Singapore. The ship in which she leaves the doomed-fortress of Singapore is torpedoed, with all hands posted as drowned. Not quite. She's cast away on an unknown South Sea island for three years with a company of sailors. Wilding, unaware of this circumstance, marries again, this time to an American girl, and they have a child. And, then, Anna returns.

Alan Pearson, a Naval Intelligence Captain, and WREN Diana Fraser meet by chance in Piccadilly during an air raid. They fall in love, and after a brief courtship, marry just hours before Diana is due to be sent to Singapore; hers is one of many hasty wartime romances. But their love story is cut short when Diana is reported missing, believed drowned, after the fall of Singapore. In time, Alan finds love again, and remarries. But Fate is to bring about an impossible situation, which can only be resolved by considerable self-sacrifice...
