In this new venture into the commercial world, the commission earned by our Executive Trustee will go to our charity's coffers. We will explore the better-known headquarters buildings as well as the anonymous, tucked-away agent briefing and holding locations. The locations will be brought to life by descriptions of the relevant agents and personnel, including high-profile senior staff and George Cross recipients, but also including individuals of whom few have heard, but who deserve to be better known. Who was a near neighbour of Noor Inayat-Khan, just off Gordon Square? Which mews property did F Section and the Jed teams use as a holding house close to Baker Street? And where EXACTLY were Buckmaster's and Vera Atkins's offices? Tensions and competition with other Allied services will be highlighted and your guide will put faces to the names. Official, once-secret, files will be extensively used and SOE will comprehensively be put on the map. Tuesday, 13th May 2025, 11am to 4 pm. Lunch is included in the price.
