Hi @DrHelenFry do you have any info on SOE operative Laurie Joan Letitia Wiblin (nee Reeves)? Anyone got her records from TNA - HS 9/1586/8 that I could take a look at please? #SOE

Books glorious books!
Last week I tweeted that I was selling some of my #WW1 & #WW2 books. Having gone through them, I have listed them with prices on my website. Please have a look and let me know if you are keen on any. Also, would appreciate a RT. jeremybanning.co.uk/2022/12/…
