Who would deny her the right to resign her Commission on marriage tomorrow, were she minded to do so ? But isn't that "Discrimination" (a male officer has no such option).
Think that went out when WRAF were "amalgamated" into the RAF (this was not a very good process - this particular rule remained 'law' for a short while (at least up until a few male RAF pilots attempted to use the 'marriage' clause to get around the 3 yr (?) PVR waiting time that was in force at the time (mid 90's?).

From your experience how were female SOE operatives thought of during WW2 (apart from being exceptionally brave) given that their fate, were they caught, was likely to be both horrific and final. Were there any 'second thoughts' at the time about using females in such role?

No disrespect intended for questioning your view - am genuinely curious!
