Provenance: Madeline worked in Paris for the Foreign Office in the British Embassy before WWII broke out. During the war she worked in the Special Operations Executive in London and facilitated another woman to be returned to France by SOE to work with the resistance. After the war she returned to Paris where she worked with UNESCO. It was in Paris where she met William (Bill) Currall and married in April 1954.
