Bravest Spy Of All

THERE are two good reasons why I give his name simply as “Andre.” - One of them will become evident in the telling of his story. The other is that it is not the practice of the British-or the French-Intelligence servicès to disclose the names of their former agents, unless they choose to do so themselves. And Andre doos 'not.

Born in the Camargue that wild, stony country of sheep and magnificent horses in the delta of the Rhone, Andre started off as a shepherd working with his father. Every year he went on the long pilgrimage of the flocks from the dried-up fields of the Camargue to the rich pastures of the Alpes Maritimes. Then one day his friends were surprised to hear that Andre had gone off to join the Garde Mobile-the tough, mobile, para-military force which exists in France to deal with riots and other civil disturbances. Its men are hand-picked.
