KENLEY LASS AND PHILLIPE i would now like to relate another war story and the work of the nps [national pigeon service] and the soe[special operations executive] in the opening ofthe duties that caused the jerries a great deal of trouble and prompted them to take severe action against anyone being caught, this was the death penalty, after the ss had obtained as much information regarding our agents operating in occupied countries. the starting of these oprations as prompted by winston churchill, was the beginning of many. brave and couragous operations that were "classified""regarding the work of s,o,e, and the national pigeon service. now the agent known as" phillipe" was instructed to land by parachute and contact the resistance movement, and was to be picked up by a" lysander" aircraft and collate as much info as poss. for further action against the germans. the using of radio signals, was subject to location bythe enemy and was unreliable in the early days of these operations. phillipe now carried two pigeons, and being a frenchman was familiar with the area and new an old freind that kept a few pigeons but now had an empty loft where he could keep the birds from the prying eyes of the" jerries". he was advised by sqd leader lea rayner to cut the toes out of two socks and place the bird in the sockwith the head sticking out the hole before placing these birds in his back pack before his para drop, this was to protect the birds during landing, and was successfull. his instructions were that in 10 days time lysander would pick him up, in a prearranged spot in darkness by the light of hand held torches, by members of the underground movement. after some delay due to bad weather, a bird arrived at home, in EAST GRINSTEAD with a message container, to be collected by a dispatch rider, and on to" wing house" piccadilly london, the order was given to the o.c. tangmere, but the weather was notfavourable for take off, after a slight delay the pilot of the" special duties" squadron of the r, a, f. decided that allthough the operation was risky [ to say the least]in veiw of the danger to our agent from the jerry forces,, he took off and was able to pick up phillipe, thereby achieving complete success,,,,,this now was the starting of many more future operations to be carried out by raf special duties and s,oE, from oct 1940,,,FOR HER PART IN THE SUCCESSFULL RESCUE OF ONE OF OUR AGENTS THE PIGEON , NAMED ,,",KENLEY LASS " WAS AWARDED THE ANIMAL V,C, [THE DICKEN MEDAL] THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EPISODE IN THE EFFORT OUR BIRDS PLAYED IN HELPING DEFEAT THE JERRIES IN EUROPE, IN THE WAR OF 1939-1945.
