This week-end the sad news was received that Belgian war heroine, resistance fighter and secret agent Lucie Chevalier (later Mrs. 'Lulu' Bruce), died, aged 82.
Mme. Chevalier worked with the Resistance in Belgium and France, harassed the Nazi occupying forces in a variety of ways and was responsible for helping numerous allied airman make it back to neutral or allied territory. She was captured by the Gestapo and, despite torture of the most horrible type, refused to reveal any useful information. She was finally released and went back to fighting with the resistance until the end of the war, when she received numerous military and civil awards for bravery.
After the war she married an Englishman and relocated to Bridport in Dorset, where she lived quietly as a respected citizen, although she was badly affected by her treatment until the end of her life.
Mme. Lucie Chevalier, heroine de la Resistance, restez-vous en paix...
