Six 'Old Bedfordians', ex-Bedford School pupils, served their country in ingenious, brave and daring ways during the Second World War. They were involved with the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a TOP SECRET organisation that helped the resistance movements in occupied Europe. Read the stories of Frank Nelson, the first head of SOE; David Makgill Crighton, sent to Yugoslavia as an aide to King Zog; Frederic Peters, the Commandant of a secret school to train secret agents; John Clarke and his father 'Nobby' who developed limpet bombs and other explosive devices; Mike Andrews who worked in Portugal, Spain and France, helping to return escaped prisoners and other evaders to Britain and Charles Bovill, who developed sophistated wireless communications for RAF planes going on clandestine missions into Europe.
