    Barbara Harrison received one of only four for her help in 1968?

    Question #88866. Asked by nibbles0011. (Nov 22 07 8:31 AM)

    		The George Cross (GC) is the highest civil decoration of the Commonwealth of Nations.

    In its history, the GC has been awarded directly to only four women, Odette Sansom, Violette Szabo, and Noor Inayat Khan (all members of FANY, who were awarded the George Cross for actions carried out while serving as agents in the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II), and Barbara Jane Harrison, an Air Stewardess, on a BOAC flight at Heathrow Airport, who died on 8 April 1968 after helping many passengers escape from an onboard fire.
