Noor Inayat Khan

Noor Inayat Khan was born on 1 January 1914. She grew up in Europe and when World War II started, she became a secret agent.

She was the first female wireless operator to be sent from Britain into occupied France in 1943. Noor’s work helped save the lives of many, but sadly, she was captured by the Nazis and killed in 1944.
