    RIP Nancy. Lest we forget the sacrifices they made for us

    "codenamed the "The White Mouse" because of her ability to elude capture - was at one point No1 on the Gestapo's most-wanted list, with an offer of five million francs for anyone who dobbed her in or killed her"

    R.I.P Nancy

    98 - she had a good innings, then.

    RIP Nancy - you are still an inspiration to us all and your heroism needs to be recognised by the New Zealand government.

    8 minutes of a interveiw in 2001. Was about the time Peter Fitzsimons wrote a Biograpfy about her

    I think it's because most people recognise her as an Australian.

    Stuff does seem to be trying pretty hard to classify her as a kiwi but it's difficult when she left at the age of two.

    I don't think it actually matters where she was born or grew up.
