About Edward Wilkinson
Edward (Teddy) Mountford Wilkinson (1902–1944) was an agent in France of the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in countries occupied by Nazi Germany or other Axis powers. SOE agents allied themselves with resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England. Wilkinson was parachuted into France in 1942, captured by Germans but freed by a French official that same year, captured again by the Germans in 1943, and executed in 1944.
