At the outbreak of World War lI, Clopet joined her parents in Morocco and, after the American landings in Casablanca in 1942, volunteered as a fighter for the Free French.

She underwent intensive training, took the code name of "Chamonet" in England and "Claudet" in France and was given the rank of second lieutenant.

One day her group was stopped by German troops when driving a lorry in Lavardin and their arms and radio equipment discovered.
