Please take the time to click through to read a short biography published today in History Today about the most decorated Australian of World War II. A fascinating story.   Her exploits were the inspiration for the BBC TV wartime espionage thriller “Wish Me Luck”, which you can order through Netflicks.

Few Americans today have ever heard of Nancy Wake.  When she died a few days ago, on August 7, at age 98, there was little attention in the American media. If you are interested in seeing for yourself what this great woman was like, watch the following video, parts 1 and 2.  It helps us appreciate how much a single person can do.
