Have a look here (6th box down, right column) - http://www.wartimememories.co.uk/allied/ats.html#szabo

Tania was four years old when she received the George Cross from the king on behalf of her mother.

Violette was 23 when she was executed. A truly great lady.

She should have got the VC.

You can only recieve the VC if you are a member of the armed forces. The George cross is the civilian equivalent.

It should have included the SOE.
