Later posted to Kenya to be with her dying father, she was then sent to the Seychelles, where she supported the dangerous work of the Catalina crews of the Canadian and allied air forces, flying vital anti-submarine missions to protect the sea routes to India.

Subsequently, volunteering for further active service she was posted to Caserta to do cyphers for the Allied advance into Southern Italy.
