Britain never repaid #KrystynaSkarbek for her service. Badly treated after the war, her life ended in the most tragic circumstances.
A #blueplaque is the least she deserves. Only clare mulley's book really doing her memory proper justice. #SOE
Moving conversation between clare mulley and @MichaelMorpungo, and listening to the story of how his uncle, Francis Cammaerts was saved by the #Polish spy #KrystynaSkarbek ,
