Nancy 'The White Mouse' Wake, a resistance fighter during World War II.
Herald Sun
UPDATE 8.57am:
AUSTRALIA'S most decorated
World War II servicewoman,
Nancy Wake, has died.
Wake, known as the White Mouse, died in a hospital in London,
where she had lived since 2001. She was 98.
A close friend confirmed Ms Wake's death early today (Australian time).
The fearless WWII French resistance fighter and leader had lived in a
London nursing home for retired veterans since suffering a heart attack
in 2003.
Her health recently deteriorated after being admitted to hospital with a chest infection.
After a typical fighting recovery late last week, her condition worsened over the weekend and she passed away peacefully on Sunday evening at the Kingston Hospital.
When France was occupied by the Nazis in 1940
she and her French husband Henri Fiocca
became active in the resistance movement.

by setting up escape routes
and sabotaging German installations.
Trained as a spy by the British,
she led 7000 resistance fighters in D-Day preparations
and was on top ofthe Gestapo's most wanted list.
Called the White Mouse by the Germans because of her ability to evade capture,
Ms Wake learned at the end of the war that Fiocca was tortured and killed in 1943.
Ms Wake is regarded as a heroine in France
which decorated her with its
highest military honour,
the Legion d'Honneur,
as well as three Croix de Guerre
and a French Resistance Medal.
She was also awarded Britain's George Medal
and the US Medal of Freedom.
She was made a
Companion of the Order of Australia in 2004.
I don't really know why this makes me sad, after all, 98 is good innings
for anyone, let alone a Spy, and a Leader of the WW2 French Resistance.
Maybe it's just the reminder of how rare 'good women' of 'true grit' are,
in this age of, "Buy me a boob job!(so I can hunt down a richer man )".
Yes, rare, but not non-existent, so I suppose this is a time to remind folk,
that, yes, I do know the difference between WOMEN and 'The WOmen'...WOMEN,
are those who understand what I mean, when I warn folk about, 'The WOmen'.
...or maybe, it's because I know that the "tintin's" of forum land,
will use this news to slag off, after a long life, an AUSTRALIAN HEROINE
who BEAT THE GERMAN GESTAPO. ...like MESSING WITH POST, to MAKE IT,
VERY DISRESPECTFULLY, Illegible!

unidentified agent that was proving to be a significant thorn in their
side. They code named the agent 'the white mouse' and listed her as
number one on their wanted list, attracting a five million franc reward.
