Code name Lulu

From Alan

Another Heroine of the resistance leaves us.

Alan

From DaveCollins

"When she was caught she was horribly tortured by the Gestapo.

"They kept her in water up to her waist and left her in cold cells for days on end without food.

"They pulled all her nails off and she wore false ones for the rest of her life. She was also shot as she tried to escape and had a nasty wound on her arm."

Despite her suffering, Mrs Bruce, who was born Lucie Jeanne Vanosmael, refused to reveal information and on three occasions she was tied to a stake and threatened that she would be shot.

A German officer intervened and she was sent to a labour camp in Germany where she was put to work in a munitions factory."



One should rightly be in awe of such ladies.

I for one, even as a grown man, would never say I could definitely stand up to the same treatment.

The country is a much poorer place for the passing of such people.


From Den

I'm truly in awe of the sacrifices made by members of SOE.
RIP "Lulu"
