For decades, Pippa told no one - not even her family - of her incredible feats during WWII.For seventy years, Pippa's contributions to the war effort were largely unheralded, but she was finally given her due in 2014 when she was awarded France's highest military decoration, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Lgion d'Honneur (Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour).Pippa was the last surviving F (French) Section Special Operations (SOE) agent from World War II.Pippa finally decided to tell her remarkable story, written with the assistance of TV personality and award-winning historical documentary producer and writer Jude Dobson.Jude has been researching/writing, producing and directing WWI and WWII content for the past six years. She won the New York Radio Awards Bronze Award in 2023 in the historical documentary category, for an Anzac Day audio documentary about WWII aviators telling their stories.Pippa chose Jude to tell her story and they formed a close bond before Pippa's death in 2023, at the age of 102.
