Hi Folk.
According to a book I have recently read the youngest person to be awarded the George Medal in WW2 was Charity BICK.
Charity had lied about her age to get in the ARP. She was awarded the George Medal for her exceptional bravery during a very heavy air raid on BIRMINGHAM in February 1941. She rode her bicycle through heavy bombing to get a message to the ARP control post about another serious incident that had knocked out the telephone lines.
Does anyone know where Charity lived or anything else about her ?
