Odette Churchill by Catharine Sanders

One of the most celebrated heroines of the Second World War, Odette Churchill was 27 and living in England with her English husband and their three children when war broke out. Following an appeal from the War Office for photographs of the French coast and other strategic places, Odette offered her own family albums. They were quick to recognise her strength of character and recruited her as an agent to work in occupied France. She was eventually arrested, along with fellow agent Peter Churchill (later her second husband) and went on to survive two years of imprisonment and torture. After the war she was decorated three times, gaining the MBE, the GC and the Legion d'Honneur.
