The Official Biography

Lucie's story always attracts profound interest. There are many such tales and they all deserve to be told, but most will not.

Lucie reluctantly gave many talks outlining her wartime experiences, a pursuit her second husband David continued after her death in 2007 on a more modest basis summarising the talks Lucie herself gave.

Three years before Lucie finally passed away her son Peter began the work of rebuilding the story with her and together they decided Peter should start Lucie's official biography. His extensive notes are now the only full account of 'Lulu's War' extant today.

The work he began still continues and is expected to be completed in 2012.

Peter grew up with the tales of his mother's early life, he can still remember as a very young boy, gazing at the long jagged scar on her arm. "What's that mummy?" He asked. "Mummy did that trying to escape from the Germans," his mother replied and so began an education most never receive.

Later Peter attended many parades and functions where others often spoke to him about his mother's bravery.
