Next up for Bad Squiddo's Women of the Resistance is Pearl Witherington and her bunny. Pearl was born to British parents in France, and was working for the British Embassy in Paris when the Germans invaded in 1940. She escaped back to England, where, after a initial stint with the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), she joined the Special Operations Executive (SOE) which had been formed to support resistance movements in occupied Europe. When Annie researched Pearl, she glommed onto the story of Pearl's pet rabbit, who spent so much time with Pearl that it became oblivious to machinegun fire. Accordingly, this miniature of Pearl is joined by her little bunny :)
