More on "Michou"
here, including the story how she'd initially been recommended for 'just' an MBE after the war - until the Awards Bureau realised just how much she'd achieved - when it was upgraded to the GM.
Edited to add:
This column from The Washington Post briefly touches on how "Michou" (aka "Lily") nursed Bob Grimes (a B-17 aircraft commander) back to health in Brussels over a 5-6 week period in late 1943 after he'd had a fragment of a bullet removed (without anaesthetic) from his leg.
The full story of how she looked after Bob is revealed in Peter Eisner's book
The Freedom Line. (well worth a read)
Bob was lucky to survive the ill-advised crossing of the river Bidassoa that cost 2nd Lt Jim Burch and Count Antoine d'Ursel their lives.
Bob's daughters have come here twice now to retrace their father's footsteps.
