jim r Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I was born 30 August 1912 in Roseneath Wellington, the youngest of 6 children. Moved to Australia in 1914 then at age 16 went to New york and London to train as a journalist. Worked in Paris in the 30's and married Frenchman Henri Edmond Fiocca. After war broke out I joined the French resistance and by 1943 was the gestapo's most wanted with a 5 million franc bounty on my head. After the war I was awarded the George medal, Medal of freedom and RSA badge of gold among others. On the 3 June 1910 a heritage pylon was unveiled on Orient Parade Wellington in my honour. Sadly I passed away on 7 August 2011 at the age of 98. The gestapo called me " THE WHITE MOUSE " WHO AM I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
