Sent to a convent boarding school, which she loathed, she trained as a nursery nurse and met George Wheeler, a 19-year-old RAF trainee wireless operator. The pair fell in love and spent a happy year together, only to say goodbye in 1943 when he was sent on bombing missions to Germany. They kept in touch with regular letters but he went missing in 1944 and nobody knew what happened to him. Determined to see something of the world, Winifred joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service in 1948 and enlisted in the Women's Royal Army Corps a year later. For the next two decades she travelled the globe and reached the rank of Warrant Officer Class 2. Her story offers a unique insight into the lives of female service personnel in the 1950s and '60s. She writes wittily and candidly about her time in the army, how life was lived in the mess and the NAAFI, and the scrapes she got into. But she never forgot George. And she never married. At the age of 70, she went on a journey to find out what happened to the only man who would ever win her heart and, 50 years after he disappeared, she was finally able to pay her respects. In 2009, after ten years of campaigning, Win became the first ever female Chelsea Pensioner to be accepted at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where she lives today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49638211649809,"sku":"GOR004568141","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1471111253.jpg?v=1751116742"},{"product_id":"composer-s-guide-to-game-music-book-winifred-phillips-9780262534499","title":"A Composer's Guide to Game Music","description":"A comprehensive, practical guide to composing video game music, from acquiring the necessary skills to finding work in the field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49728517865745,"sku":"NGR9780262534499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49968127279377,"sku":"CIN0262534495G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50279900086545,"sku":"GOR012497692","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324234039569,"sku":"CIN0262534495VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262534495.jpg?v=1751037790"},{"product_id":"composer-s-guide-to-game-music-book-winifred-phillips-9780262026642","title":"A Composer's Guide to Game Music","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA comprehensive, practical guide to composing video game music, from acquiring the necessary skills to finding work in the field.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusic in video games is often a sophisticated, complex composition that serves to engage the player, set the pace of play, and aid interactivity. Composers of video game music must master an array of specialized skills not taught in the conservatory, including the creation of linear loops, music chunks for horizontal resequencing, and compositional fragments for use within a generative framework. In \u003ci\u003e A Composer's Guide to Game Music\u003c\/i\u003e, Winifred Phillips--herself an award-winning composer of video game music--provides a comprehensive, practical guide that leads an aspiring video game composer from acquiring the necessary creative skills to understanding the function of music in games to finding work in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusicians and composers may be drawn to game music composition because the game industry is a multibillion-dollar, employment-generating economic powerhouse, but, Phillips writes, the most important qualification for a musician who wants to become a game music composer is a love of video games. Phillips offers detailed coverage of essential topics, including musicianship and composition experience; immersion; musical themes; music and game genres; workflow; working with a development team; linear music; interactive music, both rendered and generative; audio technology, from mixers and preamps to software; and running a business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Composer's Guide to Game Music\u003c\/i\u003e offers indispensable guidance for musicians and composers who want to deploy their creativity in a dynamic and growing industry, protect their musical identities while working in a highly technical field, and create great music within the constraints of a new medium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49978202718481,"sku":"GOR009105616","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50022186582289,"sku":"GOR007709399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262026643.jpg?v=1750940399"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-winifred-phillips.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
