Her name became a legend amongst the countless airmen who had been shepherded across Brussels by the famous Lily...[She] pursued those ideals of patriotism and duty with unflinching determination, fearing nothing and ready to sacrifice all, with the result that through her gallantry and devotion countless airmen were able to escape from the enemy.

I knew a lot of people and moved around a lot. I never stayed in one place, and so I was always alone. Also I was lucky.

Dumon, despite her youth, was one of the Comet Lines most experienced and longest-serving members. In 1944, she unmasked a German infiltrator, Jacques Desoubrie, who had been responsible for the arrests of many Comet Line members. Known to the Gestapo she fled to England and remained there until the end of the war.
