  • SOE) by Donat Gallagher James Cook University
    EVELYN WAUGH STUDIES Vol. 43, No. 2 Autumn 2012 Captain Evelyn Waugh and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) by Donat Gallagher James Cook University “There was something in him . of the sort of subaltern who was disliked in his regiment and got himself posted to S.O.E.”[1] Early in the Second War the British Government set up a highly secret Special Operations Executive (SOE). Its many tasks included sabotage, espionage, and aiding resistance movements in nations occupied by the Axis; in Winston Churchill’s words, its mission was “to set Europe ablaze.” It had many auxiliary units, one of which might interest United States readers while suggesting the flavour of the organization. This was British Security Coordination (BSC) in the Rockefeller Center in New York, whose history (unlike that of most other such units) survived shredding through the enterprise of some of its members. Led by a Canadian tycoon, William Stephenson, its brief from Churchill was to “do all that was not being done and could not be done by overt means” to “drag America into the war.” Before Pearl Harbour, BSC sabotaged United States firms dealing with Germany and undermined isolationist groups like America First and the pro-Nazi Bund. This they did by blackmail and assassination and by running a “rumour mill” against opponents of the war with information obtained from wire taps and burgled safes. They also bought a news agency to plant untrue stories in obscure papers; friendly columnists like Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson then picked them up. BSC faked incidents to influence American public opinion, the most famous being the forging and planting of a “secret Nazi map” and the “Belmonte letter.” The “secret map” showed South America divided into five Nazi states, one of which included the Panama Canal, while the “Belmonte letter” outlined a Nazi plot to overthrow the Bolivian Government.

As David Cameron passes up and down the Grand Staircase in Number 10 Downing Street every day, the portraits of his predecessors as prime minister stare down at him. They are arranged in chronological order, with the most recent at the top of the stairs. If they were to be arranged in order of greatness, success or effectiveness in office, or policy achievement and legacy, the sequence would look very different. We report here the results from the latest survey of academic experts polled on the performance of post-1945 prime ministers. Academic specialists in British politics and history rate Clement Attlee as the best post-war prime minister, with Margaret Thatcher in second place just ahead of Tony Blair in third place. Gordon Brown’s stint in Number 10 was the third- worst since the Second World War, according to the respondents to the survey that rated his premiership as less successful than that of John Major.

That landmark arrives Barnaby this month — so has she managed to get everything done? “There is still one thing left to do,” Helen revealed. “I want to do a parachute jump from a plane.” This month’s castaway on our desert island, Helen will be well known to regular readers of The Oxford Times as she has written for the newspaper almost every week for 23 years. Working for the newspaper also helped her achieve many of her ambitions — including drinking vintage champagne while soaring above the countryside in a hot air balloon. All in the name of science you understand. But Helen had lived several lives before she sat at her desk at the newspaper’s office in Osney Mead. She was born at the Acland Hospital, Oxford, on March 30, 1943, and brought up in Eynsham. Indeed Helen Richards, as she then was, came from an Oxfordshire family that would not seem out of place in Lark Rise to Candleford. Her grandfather (Helen cannot remember his name) was blacksmith in Burford, and her father, Alfred Harper Richards (better known as Jim. also had metalworking skills. Standing in the open fireplace of Helen’s charming cottage in Eynsham are a set of gleaming copper kettles made by her father, He was obviously a fine craftsman because the spouts are slender and elegant — no mean achievement.
