A talented young German Jew became known as GM-38 when she gave up not only her name but her one true love and her only child to join the French Resistance.

Along with other brave patriots from around Europe she was instrumental in averting horrendous attack on London, thus saving many lives. The comrades faced peril at every turn and undertook many risky escapades. The narrative takes you through war torn Europe, Porton Down, Wales and the famous white cliffs of Dover. It tells of successes and failures, gains and losses in the bid to protect the city of London. It also highlights the characters individually, bringing personalities to life. Describing their gallantry despite many fears and uncertainties. Sharing moments of romance and intimacy, of sorrow and heartache but also of laughter and joy despite the perilous times. A story full of action and intrigue to capture the imagination of every reader.
Born in 1938, the son of a miner, Gerald (Gerry) Morris grew up in Wales. Money was short and life could be tough, but he thrived in the freedom of the beautiful Brecon countryside and nurtured his love of Rugby. Gerry started his National Service at the age of eighteen and was fortunate enough to pursue the game, representing both The Royal Artillery and Kent before being posted to Salisbury. After discharge Gerry married, became a father of two but still managed to study, graduating in Physical Science from Exeter South Bank and later gaining his masters at The Cambridge Institute. After entering the teaching profession, Gerry gained a lot of fulfilment from the successes of his young pupils, many of whom he is able to stay in contact with, thanks to modern technology. Rugby was not to be forgotten and Gerry coached under nineteens for many years. This led him to becoming the chair of the London Division and the England Panel Member for this age group. Sadly, his teaching career was cut short due to ill health but he developed a strong interest in collecting antiques.
