[1] My family might not have recognized me had they seen me sitting in a third-class carriage with a beret tipped low over my forehead, wearing an old raincoat and generally looking half-witted while eating a chunk of bread and sausages.

The family left Switzerland for England after the outbreak of World War II and Walters initially joined the WAAF in 1941 (Service Number 2001920.

After the battle, Starr and his men joined with other factions of the resistance to form the "Armagnac Battalion" commanded by a French officer, Maurice Parisot, which harried the Germany army in the region.

[20] When Walters returned to London, she wrote a report (which has not survived) to Maurice Buckmaster, head of the French section of SOE.

Starr, she said, had a Russian bodyguard named Buresie who "carried out absolutely horrible tortures" on captured French collaborators.

In 1946, Walters published an account of her experiences in Moondrop to Gascony (Macmillan, 1946; Moho Books Archived 14 July 2011 at the Wayback Machine, 2009).

After the war, she lived in the United States, Spain, and France and was a translator of Spanish, an editor, and owned a literary agency under her married name Anne-Marie Comert.
