Susan Travers
Susan Mary Gillian Travers (23 September 1909 – 18 December 2003) was an Englishwoman who served in the French Red Cross as a nurse and ambulance driver during Second World War.〔"Tomorrow to be Brave" The Free Press ISBN 0-7432-0001-2, page 249〕 She later became the only woman to officially join the French Foreign Legion, and served in Vietnam, during the First Indochina War. She was awarded the Légion d'honneur, Croix de Guerre and Médaille Militaire by the French government.
==Early life==
Travers was born in London and spent her early years in England, the daughter of Francis Eaton Travers a Royal Navy admiral and his wife Eleanor Catherine (née Turnbull), until they moved to Cannes in the south of France. Never able to feel truly at home anywhere, Ms Travers had a lonely home life, feeling as though she lived in a gilded cage (privileged but trapped), with her unhappily married parents and brother. She became what we would now call a semi-professional tennis player and whilst she did not earn from her playing, she was invited to play at tournaments with all expenses covered. Her wealthy, free-spirited maiden aunt, Hilda, who had lost her love in World War I and of whom she was very fond, provided her with a monthly allowance at first, facilitating her independence from her ever-distant and disapproving parents.
