 Yolande
On her arrival Yolande, code named Mariette, was assigned a lodging with a schoolmistress in the Avenue de la République in St Quentin.
The only excuse for such a practice was that either Yolande or her chief must have considered that it was safer to keep to a known and secure place, rather than risk betrayal when seeking for new ones.
Still refusing to co—operate she was taken to Fresnes Prison to be put into solitary confinement, and on 13 May 1944 she was sent in the convoy of eight SOE girls, including Diana Rowden, handcuffed in pairs, to the civil women’s prison at Karlsruhe.
