Very early #OnThisDay, 6 May 1944, Marguerite 'Peggy' Knight parachutes into occupied France to be a courier for the Special Operations Executive. The British SOE supported the French resistance: couriers would move messages and equipment around an area.

Knight fought her way out of an attempted capture, and returned to the UK in September 1944.
