It was 1941 and, just before her 18th birthday, Noreen received her call-up papers, and was faced with either working in a munitions factory or joining the WRENS. She opted for the WRENS, but when one of her interviewers realized she spoke fluent French, she was directed to a government building on Baker Street. It was SOE headquarters, where she was immediately recruited into F-Section. For the next four years, Noreen worked with Colonel Maurice Buckmaster and her fellow operatives to support the French Resistance.
