Kit kept a diary of her wartime experiences, and in 2013, the book “Kitty’s War” by historian Janet Butler was published, based on Kit’s diaries. It gives us an insight into the experiences and hardships faced by these courageous women. The book won the New South Wales Premier’s History Awards Prize for Australian History in 2013, and the WK Hancock Prize from the Australian Historical Association the following year.
