Service Clarence

As Walthère Dewé was targeted for his activities in the First World War, he went into hiding, but behind the scenes he remained the top leader.

[5][8] Throughout the war, Service Clarence provided valuable information on a wide range of enemy activity, including coastal defenses, the effects of Allied bombing and the location of German units.

The Service Clarence network was a source of high quality and detailed intelligence on enemy troop movements, German order of battle, and Nazi secret weapons.

Attempts to establish contact with London via France and Spain by land courier were not crowned with the expected success.

Belgian Albert Van den Berg, who saved hundreds of Jews[17] and was honored in 1995 by Yad Vashem as one of the Righteous Among the Nations,[18] was also a Clarence member.
