Memorial

Along the Thames pathway and opposite Lambeth Palace is this memorial to acknowledge the work performed the Special Operations Executive (S.O.E.). This special spy group was set up by Churchill in 1940 to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Axis Power. (Germans, Italians and Japanese). Another brief was to instruct and aid the resistance movements. Of the 13,000 people employed by this organisation 3,200 were women.
