Nancy Wake, a World War 2 hero known as the "White Mouse" for evading capture by Germans, passed away in a nursing home in England. She worked as a British agent during the war and is one of Australia's most decorated servicewomen. Darcy Hassett, who runs the Uralla Military Museum, was friends with Nancy Wake and had invited her to speak at events in Uralla, where she stayed for several days on two occasions. Hassett recalls their friendship fondly.
