Gilly Halcrow is returning by popular demand, after her stunning lecture last year about the Special Operations Executive. This talk will honour the brave men and women SOE agents who served this country in World War II. It is the story of the brave Norwegian sailors in their fishing boats who kept links open between occupied Norway and Britain, taking agents in with supplies for the resistance and transporting escaping refugees out. Not only did they have to face sub-Arctic storms in the North Sea and North East Atlantic, but they also had to deal with the might of the Nazi war machine who were out searching for them. This is a moving account of what affectionately became known as ‘The Shetland Bus’. Gilly has asked for her lecture fee to be donated to the Lt. Dougie Dalzell MC Memorial Trust.
