Maria Krystyna Janina Skarbek (Christine Granville), OBE, GM, Croix de guerre : SOE

Hello Chris,

This sentence closed the BBC article that I linked to this morning in my post here: Maria Krystyna Janina Skarbek (Christine Granville), OBE, GM, Croix de guerre :S OE

"Claire Mulley's latest book Agent Zo tells the tale of Polish World War Two resistance fighter Elżbieta Zawacka and will be published in May."

The BBC article was updated (as of the time now) 16 hours ago. A way to keep both agent's stories in the public eye methinks, and no bad thing at that.

Kind regards, always,

Jim.

 

As above.

Kind regards, always,

Jim.

 

Hmmmmm. The joys of thread merging, or not as the case may be!

The "merging" has clearly stuffed up some links, now no longer working, which rather changes the meter of one previous post of mine. I also have a feeling that some posts have disappeared completely as a result of said merging. As Katy would say "null point" for that.

Oh well, such is life.

Kind regards, always,

Jim.

 

Transcript of a talk that Claire Mulley gave in November 2022 (transcript the fine work of Andy Sheppard) on Krystyna Skarbek/Christine Granville attached below in pdf format.

Kind regards, always,

Jim.

Kind regards, always,
