They Also Serve by Dorothy Baden-Powell
At the SOE, Dorothy Baden-Powell was engaged in sending saboteurs into occupied Norway and debriefing them on their return to London. After spending a year and a half with the SOE, she was given an assignment in the WRNS to try to break a ring of enemy spies. They were based on HMS Raleigh and were sending information to Germany about the movements of British warships from nearly every port in the United Kingdom. Finally, she uncovered an enemy agent, and by a combination of bravery, sheer determination and luck, succeeded in having him captured. With her assignment successfully completed she gladly returned to her job with the SOE.
