Great that explains the AFRICA STAR then thanks, knew there would be an explanation for the medals. I am assuming the photo was taken at the end of the war after issue??

I have met a couple of SOE ladies who served prior to Op Torch in Morocco at the SF Club in London. Sadly they are all dead now. They worked very closely with the U.S - O.S.S ladies in bars as waitresses in the Kasba's where Germanicon troops hung out in Algeria/Libya etc, really interesting listening to these Frenchicon speakers as they gleaned vital intelligence on troop numbers.
I like many up until then, thought they only operated directly out of F Section in France!
