[QUOTE="Jeanette, post: 43331, member: 4720"] Hi there, thanks for that. My father was actually Capt John Lees who, if you look at the 6th of 7th post by Micky above, is mentioned as taking over command from Michael Lees. Rather confusing but they weren't related. I am sure I can remember Michael Lees coming up in conversations so I believe they did know each other. I was aware of Michael Lees' book and am trying to get a copy and will also now try and get a copy of the other book as I know my father was mentioned in a book about this time but have yet to find it. My father died in the early 1980's when I was only 20 so trying to piece together what happened during his time with SOE is mainly down to info I can find in documents, archives and dim memories of what he told me. Any info that can help is gratefully received. Regards Jeanette [/QUOTE]
