One of the few FANY agents to survive the war she was awarded the George Cross for gallantry and subsequently married fellow-SOE agent Captain Peter Churchill 'Raoul'. Foot p.463 describes this account as 'a popular and partly fictionalised life; accurate in parts'. Certainly it is one of the half-dozen or so key works relating to SOE agents in France and the basis of Herbert Wilcox's feature film 1950 starring Anna Neagle and Trevor Howard.
