ANON

Next time you see an old person walking down the street, remember that they have a history, and it might be brilliant.

[This remark was made by an neighbour of the late Eileen Nearne after it had been discovered that the old lady had kept quiet about her wartime heroism. She had been parachuted into France to work as a secret radio operator, had been captured and sent to a concentration camp. After her death medals including an MBE and the Croix de Guerre were found among her possessions.]
