@CarveHerName I'd like to nominate Berthe Mayer MBE for a mention. She worked for the SOE on Madagascar during the Second World War.
I mention her in one of my books, and wrote a blog post about her here: https://russellphillips.uk/berthe-mayer-mbe/
Her daughter wrote about her here: https://chazfest.com/2020/09/berthe-mayer-1913-1981/
And there's some mention here: https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/durbans-unsung-heroes-429570
