Berthe Mayer, MBE
While researching my upcoming book about the 1942 battle for Madagascar, I came across the story of Berthe Mayer. I've written an article about her exploits for International Women's Day.
An SOE agent during the Second World War, she was awarded the MBE for her work behind enemy lines before and during the Madagascar campaign.

Thank you for this. Didn’t know about the campaign, much less Berthe’s good work.

I’m glad you found it interesting 🙂 The Madagascar campaign isn’t very well known, and I suspect her involvement even more so.
