It's great that Mary has finally received deserved recognition. I first came across a reference to her in Rosemary Bailey's book but further information was scarce until recently.

A number of the evasion routes over the Pyrenees have been re-created over the last two decades as living memorials to networks/individuals who helped refugees to escape to freedom, particularly in the central and western Pyrenees. I'm hopeful that something similar can be done in the Eastern Pyrenees.

I hope you're making progress on the biography. I'm in contact with one or two people who are doing their PhD on escape networks during WW2 which may have common themes with some of your research on Mary's life in the late 1930s and 1940s.

I'm based in Dublin - if any assistance can be provided from here, I'm happy to help.

Feel free to e-mail me at jgm2008@live.ie.

Best Regards

John
