PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Following the war, Pippa settled in New Zealand where she raised four children. For decades, Pippa told no one - not even her family - of her incredible feats during WWII. For seventy years, Pippa's contributions to the war effort were largely unheralded, but she was finally given her due in 2014 when she was awarded France's highest order of merit, the Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Pippa was the last surviving F (France) Section Special Operations (SOE) agent from World War II. In recent months Pippa finally decided to tell her remarkable story, written with the assistance of TV personality and award-winning historical documentary producer and writer Jude Dobson. Jude has been researching/writing, producing and directing WWI and WW II content for the past six years. She won the New York Radio Awards Bronze Award in 2023 in the historical documentary category for an Anzac Day audio documentary about WWII aviators telling their stories. Pippa chose Jude to tell her story and they formed a close bond before Pippa's death in 2023, at the age of 102.
