Well that went well, great @alderneylit.bsky.social audience, & it really feels significant to talk about #AgentZo’s resistance history in the only part of Britain also occupied during the #SecondWorldWar.

Some people go on holiday for sun, sex and sangria. Not me, I go for concrete. #SecondWorldWar Italian defences on the edge of Zadar. There was originally a lot more, but many seem to have been demolished.

Mules played an important role in the Med, North Africa and Burma during #SecondWorldWar, not least because they are far better equipped to deal with heat than horses, thanks to their larger ears, thicker skin and higher tolerance for dehydration.

Wonderful to see this mural of her life; the 4-engine British Halifax bomber, her parachuting down, #BigBen in #London, her service as a clandestine courier for the resistance during the #SecondWorldWar, & later life still defiant!
