Thrilled that wonderful #NoreenRiols, one of the last female members of the #SpecialOperationsExecutive SOE French Section, has today received an #MBE. She has dedicated it to her fallen comrades, as I remember her dedicating all her talks.
Her story is told in her memoir #TheMinistryofAgandFish. Congratulations Noreen!
