Minnie was American born
But served as
an agent for the SOE
Under
the Codenames of
Elizabeth,
and “La Grande”
She
landed in France in October 1943
On
Hudson aircraft in a field
And
operated as a courier,
For
the Marksman network.
She
was arrested in March 1944
And
was held at the Fresnes Prison,
Then
transferred to an Internment Camp,
Where
she stayed until liberation.
After
the war she was awarded
A
Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur
And
a French Croix de Guerre
In
1957 she was diagnosed with MS
She
lived her later years in Brittany
Until
her death on the 19th March 1983
