Dear All,
It is with interest that I read the above stories as I am doing extensive research on my grandfather who was a Belgium Agent (he was a Dutch National but living in brussels) during WW1. I am sure of the follwoing:
He worked for Mr. Courboin, also called "Tante Emma", or "Bieman" who was, I believe, part of the white lady, "dame Blanche" organisation. My grandfather was betrayed and caught on 12 March 1916 and was put in the prison of Mons (Belgium) untill his trial in July 1916. He was condemned to 12 years forced labour and sent to the "bagne in Rheinbach", where he spent 23 months till the end of the war. I have found his medal card (attached) but would love to find more about his activities during this period, what he did as a spy etc. I have found and received an enormous amount of documents from the different Belgium archives, but now need to explore further. Thanks :-)
