Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Peter Fletcher Boughey OBE (27 November 1911 – 20 June 1986) was a distinguished member of the Special Operations Executive during World War II operating as a special agent in Hungary, Poland and Yugoslavia.

[7] Boughey served with the Special Operations Executive almost from its inception until the end of World War II.

[9] Although certain details of his missions are still classified, he was known to be in Belgrade in 1941 where as agent in charge of financial transactions ‘he was particularly effective in securing favourable rates for British pounds on the black market in his project of building up a local currency war chest, and considerable sums of money ended up in the Anglo-Palestine Bank in Tel Aviv’.

[8] His mission in Hungary was almost a disaster as within a few hours of landing there, Boughey and his team were captured and delivered to the Gestapo.

[13] Boughey was made OBE in 1945 for gallant and distinguished services in the field during World War II.
