Hurry along there, please.

Hurry along now. We're late already.

Right, that's the lot. I said that's the lot.

Vie Bushell!

Well, I'm blowed. Remember me?

Stockwell Road School?

-Shelly Wilson. -That's right.

Dyed my hair. Suits the uniform.

Well, I never!

-How are you keeping? -Oh, I'm fine, thanks.

Well, isn't this nice?

My first day on this route and I pick you up.

Do you still live around here?

Oh, yes. Just around the corner from the old school.

-[Shelly] And do you work out west? -So do we.

We want to get there this morning. Come on, we've got to get to work.

Really, the manners of people these days.

Room for one more inside.

Sorry, that's the lot.

[people chattering]

Say, Vie?

Vie?

-Hello. -Hello, love.

I've just taken a minute off. I had to come and tell you.

I've just seen Sally Wilkins. She's joined the act.

Thank heavens. We won.

Can you come out in Hyde Park with me Saturday afternoon?

Yes, why?

Well, I've got to try and pick up a French soldier.

Eh?

Well, it's a French national holiday

and Mom thought it would be a good idea

to find a French soldier and bring him back for supper.

I wish I had a French mother.

Well, will you come?

What on Earth do you want me with you for?

Well, I mean...

Well, I couldn't go on my own.

Oh, all right. But as long as you do all the talking.

'Cause I don't know enough French even to say no.

This jewelry's imitation.

There you are. Over there.

-Oh, no. They're not French. -Oh, aren't they?

Look, Win. They're French.

[speaking foreign language]

I don't think we're cut out for this work, Vie.

You know, we'll probably finish up getting arrested.

Do you mean they'll think we're...

Oh, crikey.

Oh, dear.

There you are. He's looking at you, Vie.

-He's a French officer, isn't he? -Mmm-hmm.

-In the Foreign Legion. -Is he really?

Oh, isn't that romantic, Vie?

What do we do now? Wait?

Your pardon, mademoiselle, have you the time, if you please?

The time? Oh, it's...

Oh, blimey, I don't know. What's the time, Vie?

[speaking French]

I'm sorry, mademoiselle.

-Now I speak English. -That's all right.

Is it permitted that I sit down?

Oh, yes. Yes, sit down.

Well, go on, Vie, ask him.

Well, it's just that my mother thought that if you've got nothing to do,

you'd like to come back and have supper with us.

But, mademoiselle, I don't know your mother.

Oh, that doesn't matter.

What?

[speaking French]

Oh, I understand.

She sent you to seek a lonely Frenchman, that she might entertain him.

Will you come?

Why not?

I beg your pardon, mademoiselle...

[speaking French]

Well, I'm Violette Bushell and this is Winnie Watson.

Mademoiselle.

Now we all know each other, don't we?

Oh, please.

I bet you haven't heard this one. It's terrific.

-I got it from one of the boys last week. -There we are.

Another glass of wine like the officers have.

I wish health to you, monsieur. And you, madame,

and to the charming Mademoiselle Violette.

Hear, hear.

I'm so glad Violette found you.

It's been a lovely evening.

-Hasn't it, Charles? -First class.

The luck was for me.

I'm so happy.

Such fine stories of your adventures.

If I had been a man, I'd like to have been a professional soldier.

All those wonderful places you've seen.

Algiers.

Tunis.

Morocco.

Did you have a rough time getting out of Dunkirk?

Oh, please, sir, one day, perhaps.

Maybe we dance, mademoiselle?

Yes.

Excuse me, madame.

I think your parents are very charming.

-Where were you born? England? -Yes, I was born in London.

But my parents met in France. The last war.

I understand.

I say, look at Vie.

It's the first time I've ever seen her take an interest in a boy.

She may be my sister, chum, but I'm warning you,

she's a terror with the boys.

[exclaiming]

[all laughing]

Well, you asked for it, Roy. Now you've got it.

I'm sorry. Music! Start the music! Quick!

Bully.

There you are. The toughest one in the family.

-Will you have another drink? -No, thank you, madame.

If you will excuse me, I must get back now.

I'm on duty tonight.

Perhaps... Perhaps, in the next days you will teach me something of London?

If you will permit, madame.

-But of course. -Oh, I'd love to.

-Well, I'll just walk along with... -No. No. No, Charles.

[speaking French]

Bye-bye, Etienne.

Good cheer. Hope for the best.

Nice knowing you.

-Good night, monsieur. -Good night.

[Etienne] Good night, mademoiselle.

I'll fetch your cap.

Come on, Dad, how about a sing-song?

What shall we have?

-My Old Dutch. -My Old Dutch.

My Old Dutch. All right, off we go.

[all singing] ♪ We've been together now for 40 years ♪

♪ And it don't seem a day too much ♪

7:00, tomorrow, Hyde Park?

The same seat.

I shall remember.

I'll try not to be late.

Good night, Violette.

Au revoir, Etienne.

[inaudible]

You look very sweet in the moonlight.

What are you thinking?

I was pretending that we were in the south of France

sitting in a lovely hotel, looking out at the sea.

From my home in Marseilles, I could look at the sea.

Oh, I'd love to go to Marseilles. And Monte Carlo.

When we are married, we will go together.

And to Paris.

Have you been to Paris?

I used to go over the summer when I was a kid

and stay with relations, but that was in the country.

It's the most wonderful city in the world.

Paris.

The trees in the bois.

The shops in the Champs-Elysees.

In the spring it is fairyland.

[door opens]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here.

-I... -[man] Hey! Put that light out!

[laughing]

I'm sorry, Dad. I forgot about the curtains.

That's all right. I was looking for my pipe.

-I'm sorry, monsieur. I should have gone. -Yes, well, it is getting on.

Vie, your mother wants you in the kitchen.

What for?

I don't know. She wants you. Get along now.

[door closes]

-Well, now, Etienne... -Monsieur, I wish to say something.

Well, all right.

You know,

I have known Violette only a little time. Soon I go away.

-Yes, well, that's just it... -Please, Monsieur Bushell, please.

I wish to say...

Please, monsieur,

I want your permission to marry your daughter.

Marry her? You want to marry her?

-Thank you, monsieur. Thank you. -Hey, steady on. Not so fast.

This wants thinking about, you know.

-But we are sure, monsieur. -You may be sure, but,

well, damn it all, old man, you've only known the girl for three days.

But monsieur, it is not time that tells these things,

but the heart.

We love each other.

No, no, it won't do.

She's too young. I'm not having it.

-Oh, aren't you? -Now, Vie.

I'm sorry, Dad, but Etienne and I are going to get married.

-Monsieur Bushell... -He asked you first 'cause he's French,

and he thought he ought to, but it won't make any difference.

Oh, won't it?

-No, it won't. -Oh?

Well,

all right then. Well, what are we arguing about?

Oh, Dad!

-Oh, Etienne! -Violette.

[both singing in French]

There we are, Madame Szabo.

A week ago today we were on our way here.

We celebrate the occasion tonight with champagne.

Oh, darling.

[planes approaching]

[Etienne] Please, darling, don't look anymore.

When the honeymoon is over, we go back to the war.

See those trees over there?

I'll race you to them.

All right.

Violette?

Violette?

Did you call?

[Etienne laughs]

Make way for me. I'm coming up.

Too late. I'm coming down.

-Oh, darling. -Are you happy?

How long can we stay?

-What's the matter? -Nothing.

I was just thinking how very much I love you.

Darling, will you laugh at me if I tell you something?

Last night when you were asleep,

I wrote a little poem about my love for you.

A poem?

Oh, it's not very good, but...

Well, the words came into my mind and I wrote them down.

Here.

You read it. I... I want to hear you read it.

I think I remember it.

"The life that I have Is all that I have

"And the life that I have Is yours

"The love that I have Of the life that I have

"Is yours and yours and yours

"A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have

"Yet death will be but a pause

"For the peace of my years

"In the long green grass

"Will be yours and yours and yours"

That's all of it.

Thank you, darling.

It's beautiful.

-Etienne? -Well?

You didn't answer my question.

How long can we stay here?

I heard this morning in two days we must return.

In three days, I go.

Where?

Overseas. I don't know where.

Oh, Violette, my darling, you know this must be.

Yes,

I know.

It can't be helped.

We've still got three days.

Oh, you will come back, won't you?

Of course I shall come back.

Soon the war will be finished.

Then, we have another honeymoon.

We'll go together to Notre Dame and give thanks.

What shall we have first, a girl or a boy?

We shall have a girl.

Then we'll take her with us to Paris,

and I shall buy for her the prettiest little dress in the world.

-You know, I think I'd rather have a boy. -No. I insist upon a girl.

Then she will grow up to look just like you.

And I shall be twice as proud.

[all exclaiming]

[all singing] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday ♪

♪ Dear Tania ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Very good.

Come, everyone, have something to eat.

Would you like to finish up the chocolate pie?

[all chattering]

Oh, she's sweet, Vie. Really, she is.

-Have a biscuit, Win? -Oh, thank you, love.

What a shame Etienne hasn't seen her yet.

Well, I was hoping he'd get special leave,

but when I heard he was in North Africa, I knew there wasn't much hope.

How is he? Have you heard from him?

No. No, I haven't. Not for some time.

I've been a bit worried, really.

Well, letters take a long time to come, don't they, lovey?

-[woman] Isn't Tania gonna cut her cake? -Oh, yes.

And you know what they say. No news is good news.

[Violette] Come on, darling, stand up.

[all chattering]

-Cut the cake, come on. -[all exclaiming]

-[Mrs. Bushell] Very good. -Well done. And now the other side.

Oh, you are a clever girl.

Now, first plate, please. There we are.

[doorbell ringing]

Oh, thanks. Mom, could you answer it?

Yes.

Mrs. Szabo.

-Mr. Potter, please. -Fourth floor.

Thank you.

Mrs. Szabo.

Good morning. My name's Potter. Come and sit down, won't you?

Thank you.

Well, I suppose you're wondering why I sent for you?

I expect it's about the pension.

I understand you're partly French, Mrs. Szabo.

My mother is French.

And your husband was in the French army?

Yes.

He was killed at El Alamein six months ago.

Yes. Yes, I know. I'm sorry.

You... You speak French yourself, of course?

Yes. I was brought up to speak French and English.

And you're quite an athlete, I'm told.

And you are something of a crack shot with a rifle.

Mr. Potter, if it's about the pension, then I really don't...

Well, actually, Mrs. Szabo, it's not about the pension.

-But you wrote to me. -Yes, I know.

Ministry of Pensions. That's not correct.

I belong to quite a different department.

Well, if it's not about the pension, why am I here?

Because I think that you have certain qualifications which might be of great use.

Qualifications?

What for?

The war effort.

I must tell you at once.

It comes under the heading of dangerous work.

Look, I... I really don't think you've got hold of the right person...

What kind of work?

Well, briefly,

we're doing everything we can

to make things as difficult for the Germans as we can,

in every way that we can,

from blowing up their troop trains, to putting chalk in their ink.

The French are magnificent, of course.

But they have to be organized and supplied.

We need liaison people.

-It's quite a job. -Yes.

Yes, I suppose it is.

One more thing.

The Germans don't like what we're doing.

They don't like it at all.

In certain circumstances, they react violently.

And brutally.

Well, now, are you interested?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Since your husband died,

you've rather shut yourself away from everybody, haven't you?

Oh, we have to make some fairly close inquiries

before we interview people for this sort of work.

Oh, yes, I see.

Well, I just couldn't seem to face up to things.

Quite.

But you're picking up the threads again now, aren't you?

I'm trying to.

Good.

Well, I'd like you to turn this over in your mind.

I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, I...

I really don't think I can be of any use to you.

I suppose you're thinking about your baby?

Well, she's all I have.

What if anything happened to me?

Yes, of course.

Well, that's something that you must think about.

But you don't have to make up your mind right away.

Why don't you come and see me again in a week's time?

Yes. Yes, all right. If you wish.

You do realize that you must tell nobody about this interview?

Nobody at all. Not even your parents.

Yes, of course.

Mr. Potter, wouldn't it be possible to find someone else for this job?

I don't know. It might be possible.

But, you see, it's taken us a long time to find you.

There are so few people with your qualifications.

Oh, just a moment.

Don't forget your pass.

Otherwise, you'll be here forever.

Oh, good afternoon. My name's Vera Atkins.

I'm looking for Mrs. Szabo.

Oh, that's me.

-Will you come in? -Thank you.

You don't know me, but I'm working in the same department as Mr. Potter.

-Oh. Would you come in here, please? -Thank you.

Mr. Potter got your letter.

He just wanted me to see you to make sure that you understand

the step you're taking.

Well, I've thought about it for two weeks and

I know now it's the only thing I can do.

You realize your decision is entirely voluntary?

No pressure will be used.

-I still want to join. -Good.

-Will you sit down? -Thank you.

Oh, what a dear little girl.

-It's Tania, isn't it? -Yes.

How old is she?

Just over two.

And yet you still want to do this?

My husband was killed fighting in the desert.

For his sake, I...

I couldn't live the rest of my life knowing I failed to do my bit.

He never saw Tania,

but I suppose, in a way,

he was fighting for her.

And now it's my turn.

You do realize it may end the same way for you?

Yes, I do realize that.

Right. The first thing to do is to get you into uniform.

Then you won't be asked awkward questions about what you're doing.

You'll be commissioned as an officer in the FANYs.

Can you start at once?

Oh, yes. My mother will look after Tania.

Good.

[knock on door]

-May we come in? -Of course, Mom.

Hello, darling.

Oh! Did you have a nice walk?

-Oh, this is my mother, Miss Atkins. -How do you do?

-And my father. -How do you do?

Pleased to meet you, Miss Atkins.

What do you think? I'm going into the FANYs.

What? You mean you've joined up?

What is the FANYs?

Oh, uh, First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. You know,

driving ambulances, running canteens, that sort of thing.

-[Vera] Yes, that's right. -Oh, well.

That sounds a nice job.

[groans]

Look, miss,

you're gonna fight the Germans.

You're gonna help us win the war, right?

Yes.

That's a very clever girl. Now, we'll try again.

This is the best of the bunch?

I can't stand it. I'm going to be sick.

All right, now, I'm a Jerry, you see.

And I'm coming toward you. I've got a big knife in that hand,

so that's the one you've gotta watch, right?

Right, now, here I come.

Pay attention over there.

I'm not doing this for my benefit.

Look, miss, I...

Never mind. Get back in the line.

It ain't fair.

Ladies, I've told you.

I've told you time and time again.

When you fall, fall properly.

Then you don't hurt yourselves.

Oh, it's very simple.

A child could do it.

Watch me.

-If only he'd break his bloody neck. -Mmm.

[inaudible]

-Finished? -Yes.

All right. Get going.

Good evening, ladies.

You quite comfortable?

I suppose you're waiting for the bang.

-Yes. -Yes.

And in the meantime, if I'd have been a German sentry,

I could have come over there, knocked you two off,

gone over to that bridge, unplugged the fuse,

and gone over and had me dinner.

-Have you got a revolver? -[Lillian] Yes.

Tell me where it is.

In the holster.

You're keeping it warm, I suppose?

The number of times I've told you!

Never leave yourselves undefended!

Give me a hand here, will you? What's the matter with you?

We've got you, Sergeant. Don't worry.

Put that away.

You might do some harm with it.

Well, that was really good.

You can all go back to base now.

Can we come back in the lorry with you, Sergeant?

No, you can walk.

But it's seven miles.

Eight.

Give you a nice appetite for breakfast, won't it?

Driver!

[engine revving]

[coughing]

Appetite for breakfast.

How far are we from base now?

About two miles.

See where we are?

We're in Commando HQ.

Oh, what I wouldn't give for a nice, hot cup of tea.

Wouldn't you prefer a whiskey?

-Well, what are we waiting for? -Come on.

[man coughing]

What the devil do you think you're...

Quick! Get him in here!

Onto the bed.

Tuck him up. That's it.

You've knocked out the CO.

[moaning]

He's waking up.

It's one thing to live off the land. That's part of your training.

But it's another to make an irresponsible raid on government property,

and steal government liquor and damage government

personnel.

It'll be up before the CO this morning.

All right, now, who's responsible?

-I am, Sergeant. -No.

Oh, no, all of us. We're equally responsible.

Okay. Okay. All right.

Well, I can tell you here and now, the CO's gonna have something to say about this.

Did I say dismissed? Come back here.

Come back here. What's the matter with you?

Blimey women.

There's one thing more.

And it gives me pain,

great pain to say it.

I'm proud to have you in my section.

I've been trying to put something over on those commandos for a year now.

[chuckling]

Go on, you're dismissed.

Oh, by the way,

there's an end-of-course party on Thursday night in the mess.

The drinks are on you.

[sighs]

Well, I suppose Winston knows what he's doing.

[man barking orders]

-Morning. -Good morning.

Keep your legs together.

What are you trying to do, split yourself in two?

I don't know, even the women are better than you are.

That's something I thought I'd never say.

All right, on parade again 1400 hours.

Fall out.

The thing is, you see, I don't like heights. I get air sick on top of a bus.

Oh. You should have joined the Navy.

But if you can do it, I suppose I can.

It's the next course I'm scared of.

The finishing school?

Finish me. All that psychological stuff.

You know what they do? They invent a new personality for you.

-Yes? -Hmm.

New name. New background. Everything.

What about your present background?

Do you live in London?

No exchange of personal information.

Security instructions sub-clause 144-a.

You're learning fast.

Do you know the Studio Club? It's in Knightsbridge.

Oh, no, that's not my part of London.

When we're through this, we might meet.

Look at that chap. I'll never be able to do it like that.

Have a drink? Do a theater, maybe?

What?

Oh, yes. Yes, we might.

Yes.

See you on the flying trapeze.

Yes.

I wish we could get out and walk.

-You were all right yesterday. -Beginner's luck.

So far I've landed on everything except my face.

I've got a feeling this is the day.

Right. We're coming up over the DZ now.

Just remember everything you've been told.

You'll be dropping in a stick of five.

All right, stand by for action.

Action stations!

Go!

Two!

Two!

Five!

I did it! I did it! Easy. Nothing to it.

What's the matter?

My ankle's gone.

Here. Hang on to me.

I'd say you've got yourself a spot of leave.

Oh, no. I must finish the course.

Oh, no. Medical orders sub-clause 54-b.

[speaking French]

As soon as that's better, I suppose you'll be off again.

Yes, I shall.

Well, the next time you might write your mother a bit more often.

She worries, you know.

-I did write. -Twice in three months.

And what did you say? Nothing.

And even now, you've been home two weeks and what have you told us?

Helping in canteens, driving lorries.

Do you really think what you're doing's helping to win the war?

I've got to believe it.

Well, I don't believe it.

And what about your spare time? What do you do with that?

You meet men, don't you?

-Sometimes. -Officers, I suppose?

Yes, officers. The men I work with.

Sometimes we make up a party,

go to a theater or a nightclub or something.

Well, what's wrong with that? I'm not a child.

You're not much more.

Oh, Dad.

All right, you've been married and you got a baby.

But that doesn't mean you know it all, you know.

Look, Vie.

I don't know what it is, but you've changed.

You used to tell us everything.

I wish you'd live at home with us instead of racketing around all over the place.

I can't. I've got to get around. It's part of my work.

What? And crock yourself up like that?

Look. I told you, I twisted it jumping out of a lorry.

Now, what does that prove?

That I'm having a mad flirtation with a colonel?

Well, I don't know what to think.

Oh, don't be so stupid.

All right.

You do what you like. But I tell you this, my girl,

if you're not careful, you'll come to a bad end.

Now, you mark my words.

[exclaims]

Thanks.

What's wrong, Charles?

It's Vie's. Fell out of her bag.

What is it?

A parachute badge.

That's how she hurt her ankle.

[door opens]

Thanks.

It fell out of your bag.

I spoke out of turn, didn't I?

I'm sorry, Vie.

Have you got much more of it to do?

I'm sorry, Dad, I can't tell you anything. I'm not allowed to.

It's okay, Vie.

I can guess what the job is.

And I'm sure you're doing it for a good reason.

Yes, I am.

Fair enough.

No more questions.

And if you get a chance to have a bit of fun,

you take it, bless you.

[jazz music playing]

[Violette humming]

Very nice.

I hope you mean it.

It's taken me four weeks to get you here. Now,

what about tomorrow night?

-Well, we can't plan as far ahead as that. -Oh, pity.

That's the worst of war, no time.

Here today and gone tomorrow.

New places, new faces.

Just when you're getting to like one particular face.

I wonder if that isn't the best of war.

No time to get attached.

I see.

Tony, I'd like to ask you something some time.

No time like the present.

Let's go outside.

Cooler out here. And quieter.

-Tony... -Mmm-hmm.

Do you think I can do this job?

Don't you?

I don't know.

I get frightened.

You got through your training all right?

Yes, I know. But when it comes to the real thing.

If it does,

shall I feel the same?

It's so important not to fail.

You won't fail. You'll do a grand job.

Oh, I want to. I want to so much.

Don't worry too much about it.

We're all in the same boat.

None of us really knows how he'll stand up to it until the time comes.

I'm just afraid of

being afraid.

-It sounds silly. -I know.

The thing is to face up to that one and accept it.

Then you'll be able to control it.

Yes.

Yes, I see that.

-Thanks, Tony. -You're welcome.

Oh, goodness. We are being serious, aren't we?

All right, let's go and dance then.

Well, if this is true, it's damn bad luck.

Rouen group was one of our best.

-What are we gonna do about it? -We'll just have to have another try.

I'm sending Fraser into France again.

-Fraser? -Yes, why not?

-He formed the Rouen group originally. -Yes. Yes, I know.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing. Nothing. It's just a personal reaction.

I find him rather a strange chap.

Seems so remote.

That's why he's such a good agent.

He doesn't have to work at it 24 hours a day.

[knock on door]

[Colonel] Hello, Fraser.

How'd you like the parachute course?

I didn't, sir.

Give me a nice French train every time.

Well, you've seen the signal.

Yes. Vera showed it to me.

Are you sure it's genuine?

It's from Paris. Absolutely reliable.

The trouble is the lack of detail.

Somebody's talked.

There have been arrests.

That's all we know for certain.

Well, we'll soon know the truth.

It can be very dangerous for you, Tony.

Your face is plastered all over Rouen.

You're bound to be recognized in a town of 116,000.

One hundred sixteen thousand four hundred and sixty-seven, to be precise.

Look. I'm the only one that knows all the contacts.

If there has been a roundup, we may have to begin again from scratch.

And time's short.

That whole area right through to the coast is solid with Gestapo.

-It's worth trying, surely. -No. I don't think it is.

I've got a better idea.

I'm going to send somebody over with you.

You can stay out of Rouen itself.

Your assistant can go in and discover what's going on,

reporting to you as and when necessary.

-Agreed? -If you say so, sir, of course.

It will have to be somebody good.

It will be tricky. They'll be working blind.

-Who are you giving me? -Vera.

Come in, will you?

-Hello. How are you? -Fine. Thank you.

You know each other, of course.

Yes, but...

It seemed to us a woman would be less liable to suspicion

in Rouen than a man.

-Don't you agree? -Yes, I suppose so.

I've already explained the mission briefly to Violette.

She's confident she can carry out your instructions.

-I hope so. -I'm sure she can.

-Quite sure. -Good.

Well, Captain Fraser knows the area well.

In fact, he organized the Rouen group. So you, in turn, can rely on him.

Yes.

I see.

Well, come and look at the map.

If only you can find one or two of your old contacts

and a bit of explosive, that will be something.

-What's in your mind, sir? -Look.

Here's the main railway line from Germany through Rouen to Le Havre.

It's in constant use by the Boche. West of Rouen the line crosses a viaduct.

This must be blown.

Yes, I know that viaduct.

Well, let's get down to details.

With luck we can get you over at the next moon.

Your identity card.

Clothing coupons.

Ration cards

and money,

600 pounds in French francs.

Will you sign for them here, please?

If you want any more, I can let you have some.

I've never been so rich in my life.

I've checked through your toilet things. It's all right, I see you've used them.

-Yes, last week. -Good.

You're quite safe with them.

-I'll check your handbag. -Oh. Right.

Well,

how do I look?

The perfect secretary.

I hate this jacket.

That's worn this year in Rouen.

You can't check the rest of me, but I assure you, it's all French.

That's fair enough.

Just one other thing.

Your lethal pill. Just in case of accidents.

Keep it somewhere safe and handy.

No, thanks.

I don't have to have it, do I?

-Well, no, but... -It's all right.

Anyway, they're not going to catch me.

As you wish.

Cigarettes, matches, a picture of a child.

-These you have to leave behind. -All right.

Oh, just one more English cigarette.

Well, this is where it really starts.

Yes.

How do you feel?

A bit sort of unreal.

I know.

I did the first time.

All those months of training, blood and sweat

and tears, building up, you think, to a tremendously exciting climax,

and suddenly here you are, in the middle of the night, with your little suitcase,

trotting off in a tiny unarmed aircraft,

to fight the German army all by yourself.

Crazy, isn't it?

Crazy.

Come on. They're waiting to kiss us goodbye.

-Bon voyage, Colonel. -Thank you.

[speaking French]

[speaking French]

Monsieur Dumont,

it is good to see you again.

Good to see you.

-This is Mademoiselle Luran. -Welcome, mademoiselle.

Can you get her to Rouen as quickly as possible?

-You can ride a bicycle? -Yes.

We will take her to friends nearby,

and in the morning she can board the train for Rouen.

Good.

It's no good telling you where to start in Rouen.

You'll just have to use your wits.

You've got the names and addresses.

Yes. I only hope one of them is still there.

If you can get the viaduct blown up, good. But don't take any unnecessary risks.

I'm relying on you to get back to me to report.

Yes, of course.

We'll meet then in Paris, as arranged, three weeks from now.

That's the 28th.

I'll be there.

Good luck, mademoiselle.

And you, monsieur.

[men speaking French]

[man] We have a car waiting, monsieur.

[all speaking German]

[man] Why not come in here, mademoiselle?

We have a seat too many.

Oh, thank you very much.

May I offer you a cigarette?

No. No, thank you.

-Do you mind if we smoke? -Please do.

Cigarette?

[thanking in German]

-Are you going through to Rouen? -Yes.

You work in the war?

-No. I'm visiting relatives. -I see.

What kind of work do you do?

Oh, I'm just a secretary.

Oh, that's very interesting.

My little daughter, she wants to be a secretary.

-Oh, really? -Photograph here of her.

Yes. Isn't she pretty?

[man] Here is a photograph of my wife and my children.

[whistle blowing]

[speaking German]

Mademoiselle, where do your relatives live?

I don't know. I'm going to find them.

Do you have somewhere to stay?

I shall stay in a hotel. Thank you.

But mademoiselle,

you will find accommodations very difficult in war.

I stay in a small hotel.

I could find you a room there.

I'd rather not. Thank you.

In any case, I must look for my relatives.

But I can find them so much more quickly than you can.

I insist that you allow me to help you.

Very well, monsieur. Thank you.

Right this way.

[speaking German]

[speaking French]

Have you a room for mademoiselle?

Certainly, monsieur. The usual room for you, monsieur?

Annette?

Mademoiselle, I should be pleased if you would dine with me tonight.

-Thank you. -Here at 8:00?

-Very well. -Mademoiselle.

This way, mademoiselle.

[explosions]

[explosion]

-I have a message for Madame Burno. -She's not here.

Is Monsieur Burno here?

Neither my mother nor my father are here.

Well, what time will they be back? I must see them urgently.

They've been taken by the Germans.

And I don't want to be seen talking to you.

[sewing machine whirring]

Well,

you're my last contact, madame.

None of the others have been able to help me.

How many of the group are left?

If I knew, I would tell you.

But I don't.

I only know that many have been caught.

I'm trying to trace a Monsieur Garnier.

Garnier?

He works at Berto's Garage.

-Where's that? -In the Rue du Bognet.

But be careful.

We are not too sure of him.

-Berto's Garage, Rue du Bognet. -Mmm-hmm.

Yes. Yes, I'll be careful.

[soldier barking orders in German]

-Monsieur Garnier? -Hmm?

[greeting in French]

Can I hire a bicycle here?

No, mademoiselle, no.

Oh.

Is there anywhere else in Rouen I could try?

Not that I know of.

Oh, well, never mind.

It's a nice day for walking.

It's good that the spring is here at last.

Yes.

It has been a long winter.

And now the days are drawing out.

What do you want to know?

How many of the group are left?

It's a tragedy, mademoiselle.

Of 98 members, only myself and two others remain.

That's terrible.

-Have you any explosive? -Yes. Plenty.

Do you know how to use it? You and the other two?

No. We are watched all the time, mademoiselle.

The Gestapo.

What is the target?

It's the viaduct that carries the main line to Le Havre,

20 kilometers west of here.

The viaduct? But it's guarded night and day.

Will you try?

I'll speak to the others.

-You must not stay here. -When will you see them?

-Tonight. Perhaps tomorrow. -Tonight.

-But mademoiselle, I... -Please.

I'll call back in the morning.

But mademoiselle, you just don't realize...

I know that if it's possible, you'll do it.

[bidding goodbye in French]

[speaking German]

Your name?

-Corinne Reine-Leroy. -Address?

64 Rue Thiers, Le Havre.

Your papers.

What are you doing in Rouen?

I'm trying to find some relatives.

At Berto's Garage?

-I wanted to hire a bicycle. -And did you hire one?

No. No, he said he had none.

Took him a very long time to tell you that.

He's a talkative man.

-You come with us. -Allez.

[speaking German]

-Heil Hitler. -Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

This woman was talking to the man Garnier at Berto's Garage.

I suspect that he was passing information to her.

This is a surprise, mademoiselle.

-Good morning. -You know each other, Herr Oberst?

Yes.

A chair.

You will understand, mademoiselle, that we must take precautions.

I'm sure you meant no harm, but

why were you talking to the man at the garage?

It's very simple. I was trying to hire a bicycle.

As I told you, I'm trying to find some relatives, and...

Well, I just got tired of walking.

The garage has no bicycles for hire,

yet they talked for several minutes.

I thought it quite possible the man might know of my relatives and,

perhaps, give me some news of them.

And did he?

Well, he knew my uncle by name, but...

Well, that's all.

Yes.

And what is your uncle's name?

Gromier. Marcel Gromier.

Herr Oberst, the woman is lying.

Isn't that for you to decide?

Well, mademoiselle,

it appears that my men have been a little, shall we say,

overzealous.

Please accept my apologies.

By the way, what happened last night? You promised to dine with me.

I waited over an hour.

Oh? Yes, I'm so sorry.

I got caught in the air raid.

Yes, of course.

Then you'll dine with me tonight instead?

-That would be charming. -Excellent.

-At 8:00 then? -Good.

[speaking French]

She has tricked you, Herr Oberst.

You don't understand.

I understand perfectly.

Do you really think I can be fooled as easily as that?

Do you think she was receiving information?

Probably.

-Shall we have her followed? -No. Not yet.

Not until...

Not until after dinner tonight.

Well, if he thinks I'm having dinner with him tonight,

he's got a long wait ahead of him.

You're quite sure he suspects?

Yes, I'm quite sure.

He was so ready to believe me.

And much too quick with his invitation to dinner.

Did Monsieur Garnier help you at the garage?

I think he will.

Don't know.

I don't know what to make of him.

You realize, my child, you're in great danger.

You must get out of Rouen by 8:00 tonight.

Yes.

I've got to get to Paris.

I think I can help you.

Bonjour, Corinne.

Bonjour, Robert.

Come and sit down here.

Right on time. Good girl.

Oh, it's good to see you.

-You're looking tired. -I am.

I'm all right, though.

Well, what's the news?

In brief for now.

It's not good.

The Rouen group's had it, I'm afraid.

Three left out of 98.

And I'm not sure of them.

But you got the viaduct?

What?

The viaduct. It went up last night.

-Didn't you know? -He did it!

Garnier did it!

He certainly did. Blew it sky high.

With an ammo train on it.

Oh, that's wonderful!

Let's go find some lunch.

Will we go home tonight?

Not for two or three days. I'll have to fix the plane.

Take a look at Paris.

Try to do some shopping.

Or have you done it?

It's the most marvelous dress. I couldn't resist it.

Black market, of course. Terribly expensive.

-I've mortgaged my pay for months. -Where'd you get it?

Molyneux.

Molyneux. But that's where all the Germans take their girlfriends.

Is it?

Oh.

Oh, look.

I must get that for Tania.

But my dear girl, you're broke.

Oh, you said you'd lend me some if I ran out.

But that was in an emergency.

Well, what do you think this is?

Why do they let women into the Army?

Here, help yourself.

Thank you.

Look. There's a restaurant.

I'll go and get a table.

Yes, I won't be long.

[woman speaking French]

[Etienne] We shall have a girl.

Then we'll take her with us to Paris,

and I shall buy for her the prettiest little dress in the world.

Soon the war will be finished.

Then we'll go together to Notre Dame

and give thanks.

End of the journey.

I'm so tired I could sleep for a week.

Violette, enjoy your rest.

-You've deserved it. -So have you.

Oh, it will be wonderful to wake up in the morning without that

tight feeling in the stomach.

We might not get the chance to work together again.

You know, ships that pass in the night, that sort of thing.

I hope we won't lose sight of each other.

Of course not.

After all we've been through together?

You can't get rid of me so easily, you know.

Right. That's settled.

Ring you tomorrow morning.

Oh, you're hopeless.

God bless you.

Good night.

Tania?

Darling?

Hello, darling.

Hello. Mommy's back.

-Hello. -Hello, darling.

Would you like to see the lovely thing I brought for you?

Come on, then.

Come on, then.

Oh, what a good girl. Come on. Just for two minutes.

[sighs]

Oh, Violette, darling!

Hey, hold on. Hold on. What about my turn?

Hello, Dad.

-Oh, Vie, I've got so much to ask you. -No questions, Charles.

Oh, come on. Let's go and have a cup of tea, shall we?

Yes, of course.

No sleep tonight, Mother.

Oh, I have missed you, darling.

-Have you missed me? -Of course she hasn't.

She's been as naughty as you used to be.

Dad, could you bring in the other things, please?

All right.

Come on. There.

Oh, it's lovely to be home.

Well, things haven't changed much, Vie.

-No. They're just the same. -Good.

Now, you sit there, darling.

We're going to open this box and see what I've brought back for you.

Yes. Just like Christmas, eh?

-You open that one, Dad. -I'll open this, yes.

Now, what have we got here?

Stand up, darling. Let me see if it fits you.

Oh, it's too big.

-No, it isn't. -Yes.

No, it's too big, darling.

Well, never mind. You'll soon grow into it.

Now, Dad. This is for you.

Oh, now, Vie, you shouldn't have done that. Now, really.

Well, look. That's just what I needed.

And, Mom, I've got some perfume for you.

-Oh. -I know you like it.

What a wonderful surprise it all is.

Dad, could you give me that box, there?

Yes. Here you are.

Thanks.

Well, now, this is...

Well, it's...

Oh! It's really beautiful.

Beautiful. Only in Paris you could...

Oh, Mom.

You know, Vie, the boys are coming on leave tomorrow.

Oh, that's grand.

I got something for them, too.

Oh, don't worry. They'll just be pleased to see you.

I'll go get the tea.

Oh.

You know, Violette,

it will be the first time we've all been together for so long.

I wonder...

Well, we must make the most of it.

[jazz music playing]

[people chattering]

Look at that dress. Doesn't it make you envious?

No. Angry. Some people forget there's a war on.

-Well, look who's here. -Hello, Vie.

How lovely. Come and have a drink.

-Yes, please. -[Tony] I don't believe it.

Violette, you look ravishing. That dress.

If I didn't know you better, I'd say it was straight from Paris.

French from head to toe.

-[Denise] You don't know Bob, do you? -No.

Bob Mortier. Violette Szabo.

-Nice to know you. -How do you do?

-Would you like to dance? -Well, thank you.

Oh, no, you don't.

-This one's mine. -Sorry.

Couldn't miss this one.

Denise's friend seems nice.

Bob Mortier, yes, he does.

Remember the last time we were here?

Yes, I do.

A lot's happened since then.

They were playing this tune.

It's been my favorite ever since.

I hope you don't get too fond of it, Tony.

No. Of course not.

All the same, don't shut yourself up in the memory forever.

I know what you mean.

When will the next time be?

There won't be a next time.

-Not for you. -Why not?

Let's sit down.

-Table all ready, sir. -Thank you.

Now, listen.

You did a magnificent job.

But they won't send you in again.

-Yes, but surely... -No.

It's always more dangerous the second time.

Well,

I don't want to go.

-It's not that I... -Tania? Is that it?

Yes.

I don't think I could bear to leave her anymore.

What about you? Will you go again?

That's rather beside the point, isn't it?

No. Not really.

If you went, I should worry about you.

Oddly enough, I find that rather a comforting thought.

-Bob's bought you a drink. -Thanks.

[speaking French]

I know it's asking a great deal.

You have every right to say no,

and we certainly shan't hold it against you if you do.

But this is a vital operation and we're short of good people.

So I have no option but to ask you.

Well?

Of course I'll go.

Thank you.

I think if I could find a replacement, it'd be better...

No.

But this is going to be a dangerous mission.

Much more dangerous than last time.

You trying to get rid of me?

That doesn't even need an answer.

You want her with you, don't you, Tony?

Yes, but...

Yes, I do.

Good.

Well, then, at this stage, I can't tell you what your mission will be.

In fact, you may not be briefed until the last moment.

But I can tell you this.

You'll be operating in the Limoges area.

You'll be dropped by parachute at Suzac.

And I want you to be prepared to go at the next moon.

That's round about the sixth of June.

Any comment?

Well, that's all for the moment.

All right, then, if you'll forgive me,

I've got plenty to get on with.

-All right. -Oh, Vera, can I have a word with you?

Yes. Come on.

Well, what is it you want?

Vera, I've taken your advice

and I've made a will.

Oh?

-Would you look after it for me? -Of course.

Not that there's much to make a fuss about.

There's 100 pounds or so in the bank that Etienne left me, plus my pay.

-That's for Tania, of course. -Mmm-hmm.

If anything happened to me, there would be a pension, wouldn't there?

Yes.

Well, then, there are one or two bits and pieces for my mother.

A bracelet Etienne left me,

and my wedding and engagement rings.

Well, it's better to have everything straight.

Just put this in my drawer till you come back.

Vera,

thanks for everything.

Good luck, Violette.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

Why do we insist that you do this?

So that if anything happens to me,

I can't possibly remember the code I've used.

Exactly.

You can't remember it, so they can't get it out of you.

But what happens if you have to destroy this silk?

Well, then, I have to use a poem instead. A poem I've memorized.

The enemy know you have destroyed this code,

so they'll do everything in their power to make you tell them your poem.

Always remember, if ever the Germans get your poem,

they can transmit to England,

and endanger the lives of all the people who come after you.

-Will you leave us now, Miss Shore? -Yes, sir.

Now, Violette, your poem.

This will only be known by us two.

Yes, I understand.

I have a large selection for you to choose from.

They come in all sizes.

Could I use one that I know, please?

Certainly. If you remember it well.

Yes, I remember it very well.

Can I hear it?

"The life that I have Is all that I have

"And the life that I have Is yours

"The love that I have Of the life that I have

"Is yours and yours and yours

"A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have

"Yet death will be but a pause

"For the peace of my years In the long green grass

"Will be yours and yours and yours"

You'll never forget that, will you?

No, I'll never forget it.

I'll work something out on that and let you have it.

That's settled then.

In this establishment it's considered bad luck to say good luck,

so I'll just say au revoir.

[bids goodbye in French]

Thank you, darling.

Going away again, Mommy?

Yes, darling. Just for a little while.

But I'll be back soon.

And then we'll have a party and you can wear your lovely dress.

Take care of yourself, love.

Of course I will.

Oh, when the war's over, I'll start a new career.

-What as? -Cat burglar.

Climbing walls, opening safes, I'll know it all.

Goodbye, Mom.

I won't worry.

[in choked voice] Goodbye.

What's the time?

Five minutes past midnight.

D-day plus one.

We should be crossing the Normandy coast now.

I wonder how they're doing down there?

Well, we'll soon see.

Okay, chaps, let's get ready.

Are you okay, sir? Number two.

We're running up to target.

Action stations!

Container!

One!

Two!

Good luck, sir! Three!

[speaking French]

[all clamoring]

[speaking French]

The Germans are coming up from the south.

There's an SS panzer division approaching from Toulouse.

They should be passing through Salon-la-Tour,

that's 20 kilometers west of here,

tomorrow or the day after.

They will not pass us, you know.

Maybe not. But more Germans will be coming up any day now.

Using every road.

What about the other groups east and west of here?

They will fight?

Random skirmishes won't do any good.

No. Each group must know exactly what to do and when to do it.

-All right. -Give each leader his orders

-And he will obey them. -I shall set up our headquarters here.

We must get word through to the leader of each group immediately.

-I could go. -No. You must stick by your radio.

Why don't you send me? There's no one else.

All right.

The group west of here first,

then south, then east.

I will present her to the leader in the west

and he can pass her on to the next group.

But you're needed here to control this group.

I can be back in three, four hours.

All right. Make sure that you are. We can't carry on here without you.

When do we start?

-Tomorrow morning early. -Magnificent.

I prepare the car right away.

Georges, come on.

[all bidding good night in French]

Bob, get madame to rustle up some food, will you?

Then we must work out the details for Violette.

Right.

You don't want me to go, do you?

No. I don't.

I can take care of myself.

I'd rather you didn't have to.

You might look after yourself, too.

Salon-la-Tour.

That is where we cross the main road from the south.

Through a village? Is that a good idea?

I was born there. They know me.

They will warn us if there are Germans around.

Well, that's all right then.

Look. That is the house where I was born.

-You see that church tower there? -Mmm-hmm.

I climbed up to the top of that when I was nine years old.

I liked climbing trees when I was a kid.

You know, I...

I think you are too young and too pretty for this kind of work.

You ought to see me before breakfast.

[honking]

Any Germans come through today?

Germans? No.

But I have this gun ready if they do.

You keep your gun to shoot rabbits.

[all bidding goodbye in French]

[motorcycle approaching]

Don't look at him.

[gunshot]

[exclaims angrily in French]

[speaking French]

[engine stalling]

[swearing]

Finished.

Jacques! Jacques!

Come on.

[speaking French]

-Which is the best way out? -I know where there's a car.

We must warn the others.

Grenades.

Hey, after them!

[shouting]

[all shouting]

We must get through those trees.

But it's across open ground.

It's the only way to the car.

[barking orders in German]

Let's go!

[barking orders]

-Are you all right? -Yes, I'm fine.

[barking orders]

The car is gone.

Fall back.

[barking orders]

You go ahead. I'll cover you. Make my own way.

No, no. We stay together.

[all shouting]

[groans]

-Quickly. It is our last chance. -I can't! I can't!

-We must get over the river. -I can't!

-It's my ankle! -I'll carry you.

Don't be a damn fool! You've got to get back! I promised.

-Go on. Get out. -I'm not leaving you here, no.

Run! Run, for God's sake, run!

Come on! No!

[soldier speaking German]

[speaking German]

You put up a good fight, mademoiselle.

Cigarette?

Well, we shall see.

[speaking German]

Your ankle is getting better?

I hope they're giving you treatment for it.

You Germans are most considerate.

Now, Violette,

you see,

already we know who you are.

It's only a question of time before we find out everything.

Tell us what we want to know

and we'll guarantee your life and the lives of your friends.

You must think I'm a half-wit.

I'm sorry you choose to be difficult.

But I'm used to that.

I am very patient.

Don't you realize the British are only making use of you?

I am British.

I thought you were French, as your husband was.

I should have you shot right away,

but I don't want to.

You have a child, haven't you?

What will become of your child if you die?

Come now. Be sensible.

You're young, you're attractive,

you're in Paris and the sun is shining.

Would you like some new clothes?

The theater, perhaps?

Supper at Maxim's?

I should be honored...

Violette,

others before you have taken the same attitude,

but not for long.

We will try again tomorrow, madame.

When I came to your cell, you behaved very foolishly.

Here in the Avenue Foch the change of scene may help you.

Now,

when and where were you dropped?

I don't remember.

Who was your commanding officer?

What contacts did you make in France?

I never knew their names.

Violette, you mustn't take us for fools.

Are you going to go on refusing to answer my questions?

I refuse to tell you anything!

You have only yourself to blame now.

[buzzing]

And now,

tell me from whom you take your orders.

I'll tell you nothing.

Nothing.

[Violette panting]

[Violette] No! No!

-How long has she been kept awake? -Seventy-two hours.

So hot. Very uncomfortable.

I'm ready for her.

Not yet, Violette.

You cannot sleep yet.

Soon you can sleep.

Can you hear me, Violette? Soon you can sleep.

Sleep.

We know you destroyed your code.

So you must tell us your poem.

All we want from you before we let you sleep,

are the words of your poem.

What poem?

Open your eyes, Violette.

And tell me your poem.

And then you can sleep.

What are the words of your poem?

Come now.

Tell me and then you can rest.

[Etienne] "Rest I shall have..."

What kind of poem? What kind of poem is it, Violette?

You can sleep then.

"Sleep I shall have..."

Is it a love poem?

Not a love poem?

A poem of death?

Last night...

Tell me, Violette.

I wrote a little poem about my love for you.

"A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have

"Yet death will be but a pause

"For the peace of my years

"In the long green grass

"Will be yours and yours and yours "

[Violette] It's beautiful. Now it's my turn.

Let me say it. I want to say it.

Now.

Now you will tell me your poem.

Now.

I hate you.

-Tell me! -No!

-Tell me! -No! No! No! No!

No!

[sobbing]

[cell door opening]

[speaking German]

Well, here we are.

At least they didn't separate us.

Oh, it's perishing in here.

Oh, be careful.

[Denise] Vie?

Lilly?

Denise?

Oh, don't.

Don't cry, Vie.

Everything's going to be all right now.

-We're all together again. -Yes.

You know that the allies are near Paris?

In a few days you will be free.

Denise.

Oh, it's wonderful to be with you again.

[Violette crying]

[Lillian] Please don't cry. Don't cry.

[all chattering]

Any idea where they're taking us?

No idea.

I can't stop thinking about when

I opened my eyes and saw you two in the cell.

Remember when Lillian fell out of the train up in Scotland.

It took three days to find her.

Poor kid. She's had an awful time.

[explosion]

What's happening?

[women exclaiming]

What is it?

It's all right. It's all right.

[all shouting]

This is our chance to get away.

I hope you're good at the three-legged race.

-What about Lillian? -I'll look after her.

All right! You follow us!

-I think we can get out through that door. -Let's.

Water! Water!

Water! Bring some water!

It's our last chance.

Let's get them some water.

Water! Bring some water!

Water! Bring some water!

Here we are, boys! Here we are!

Water!

You'll all get some. Now careful there.

That's enough! That's enough!

-Come on! -[man] Careful. Now, you'll all get some.

[man 2] Now, where are the guards?

Where's the next one! Come on, now.

Careful, there.

Take it easy.

-Tony! Oh, Tony! -Violette!

-It's empty, get some more. -Take it easy. Take it easy.

-What are you doing here? -We're doing your job.

Seeing the prisoners don't escape.

You touch me and I'll report you for leaving us.

[speaking German]

[barking orders in German]

I'm sorry I can't get any closer.

Tony, what happened?

-How did they get you? -I took a chance.

There was a train needed blowing up.

I wasn't quick enough and they nabbed me.

What about you?

-Did Jacques get back? -Oh, yeah. He got back, thanks to you.

And the German division, did it get through?

No. They held them up all along the line.

Thank God it turned out all right.

Violette, you were at Frennes, weren't you?

Did you go to the Avenue Foch?

-Oh, Tony, don't spoil it. -Did you?

Well, once or twice, but

they didn't get anything out of me.

-Wasn't bad. Really, it wasn't. -Oh, God.

-You, too? -Yeah, doesn't matter now.

We're together again, for a while.

New places. New faces.

That's what you said in the Studio Club.

Did I?

I'm getting tired of new places. Aren't you?

Darling,

if we get out of this...

-When we get out. -All right, when.

Won't be long now. Just a few weeks.

I shan't ever let you out of my sight again.

I shan't ever want you to.

[speaking German]

[all bidding goodbye]

My daughter used to have such beautiful hair.

Face powder. Where did you get it?

Whitewash from the wall in the kitchen.

But why? What's the use?

I don't know. Just makes me feel better.

You all right, Lilly?

I don't feel too good.

Come on. Try and sit up.

I'll help you. Come on. Come on.

Oh, I can't make it today, Vie.

Look. You've got to try. You've got to.

You mustn't let them see you can't.

[barking orders in German]

Bloch, Rolfe, Szabo, you stay there.

Thank God.

Why are we to stay? We are fit for work.

-You are coming with me. -Where to?

Commandant Suhren's orders.

[female soldier barking orders in German]

Vie, is this it?

We're all together.

[barking orders in German]

By order of the Fuhrer,

the three British agents,

Denise Bloch,

Lillian Rolfe,

and Violette Szabo are to be shot.

[firing continues]

[Tony] On the 28th of January, 1947,

Tania put on the dress which Violette had brought back from Paris.

Now it fitted her.

And she wore it when she was invited with her grandparents

to Buckingham Palace.

His Majesty King George VI gave Tania the George Cross and said,

"It is for your mother. Take great care of it.

"She was a brave woman,

"and you must always be very proud of her. "

-Good day. -Hello.

-That's a very pretty dress you're wearing. -It came from Paris.

You've got a medal too, eh?

You'll have to take great care of that.

I'm keeping it for Mommy.

-Hope to see you again soon. -Yes.

[Violette] "The life that I have Is all that I have

"And the life that I have Is yours

"The love that I have Of the life that I have

"Is yours and yours and yours

"A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have

"Yet death will be but a pause

"For the peace of my years In the long green grass

"Will be yours and yours

"and yours "
