Actually she was a transport officer not a mechanic, she enlisted in 1945 just before the war ended and took a three week course, she ate in the officer's mess and slept in Windsor during the course, she did not associate much with fellow trainees and never spent any time in the army doing duties.
Look, E’s parents stayed in London during the bombings to calm the people...and they did...the thought that O and Sarkozy didn’t invite her when sooooooo many of her citizens died, well, that shows STUPIDITY AND LOW CLASS!
Actually, from the article (hey, who was that guy who took pride in never reading the article?):
“The queen, who is 83, is the only living head of state who served in uniform during World War II. As Elizabeth Windsor, service number 230873, she volunteered as a subaltern in the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service, training as a driver and a mechanic. Eventually, she drove military trucks in support roles in England.
While serving, she met the supreme Allied commander for the D-Day landings, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and developed a fondness for him, according to several biographies. This prompted Queen Elizabeth, who was crowned in June 1953, to say in later years that he was the American president with whom she felt most at ease.”
