In 1939, Elisabeth Furse, a 29-year-old mother, trained as an ambulance driver, but eventually joined the Pat Line later on in WW2, responsible for smuggling soldiers over the Pyrenees mountain range. Join me in this thread to learn all about her wartime work: (🧵)

Delighted to have hosted a ‘Tom McGrath trail’ in June 2023 and accompanied the author to hike in his father’s footsteps over the Basque Pyrenees to Bera.
Really looking forward to reading this epic story of #Waterford man Captain Tom McGrath who escaped from Stalag XXA, a German prisoner-of-war camp in northern Poland. The book by his son Tom McGrath. Also reflects on the story of his mother who was at the same time ‘imprisoned

Pastor André Trocmé addressing the congregants in his church, 30th August 1942: "These people came here for help and for shelter. I am their shepherd. A shepherd does not forsake his flock. I do not know what a Jew is. I know only human beings." Pictured with his wife, Magda.
Florentino Goikoetxea Beobide (right) at an award ceremony for his participation in the Comet Line network, where he escorted downed and injured Allied (British) airmen across the Pyrenees to safety, via secret escape routes, eventually leading to their repatriation to Britain.
Florentino: one of the brave mountain guides, who accompanied downed British airmen across the perilous Pyrenees mountain range in WW2. If bravery had faces, he would surely be one of them.
