3. QUEEN WILHEMINA of The Netherlands

Just a fact that you might find interesting... in the next road to where we live there was a large house that had been turned into a Children's home by the time we moved here. On the door is a plaque that states that Queen Wilhemina stayed for a time there during the war.
From Wikipedia....
On 10 May 1940, Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands. Queen Wilhelmina had wanted to stay in the Netherlands: she had planned to go to the southern province of Zeeland with her troops in order to coordinate further resistance from the town of Breskens and remain there until help arrived, much as King Albert I of Belgium had done during World War I. She fled The Hague, and she boarded HMS Hereward, a British destroyer which was to take her south; however, after she was aboard, Zeeland came under heavy attack from the Luftwaffe and it was considered too dangerous to return. Wilhelmina was then left with no option but to accept George VI's offer of refuge. She retreated to Britain, planning to return as soon as possible.
