We have lost a WW2 legend: the wonderful Comet Line courier Andrée Dumon. She was 102. She survived Ravensbrück & Mauthausen. She was funny, kind and exceptionally brave. In 2012 she told me about the moment she was arrested by the Gestapo:

@daveainsworth63 How sad.

@DrMatthewSweet Sorry if this is predictable but I have to go with his work on '60s war films - esp Where Eagles Dare. Such an iconic theme. First saw his name on this Geoff Love album. Still have it on vinyl. Easy to become overfamiliar with film themes & forget just how great they are.

Stan Booker, the last surviving airman held at Buchenwald, has died, aged 102. Stan was heavily involved in the campaign to get memorial plaques listing British & French agents murdered in the camp placed in the cellar where many were hanged.
