Career
During her studies she spent a year at the University of Freiburg to improve her German. At Cambridge she earned blues in lacrosse and lawn tennis. In an interview in 2011 she stated: "Before the war I had lived in Germany for a year studying at Freiburg as part of my degree and I made a lot of friends.
A lot of the Germans I knew were charming, so it was difficult to think of them as the enemy."
Upon graduation she was recruited to work as a civilian translator at Hut 4, Bletchley Park, translating decrypted German naval communications into English.
She worked there for four years, while billeted with a family in Woburn Sands. After the war she worked for a publishing company as a literary assistant.
She herself died on 12 June 2014.
