In Dedication and In Memory of Clare Hollingworth
That she was the first to report on the start of World War Two may be seem as a stroke of good luck, however, she was before this active in helping many escape Poland and get visa’s to the UK, and her career only started with this event. She reported all over the world, and was a great woman, in an era where this was not the norm.
The news article you see was hers, at the time it was not normal to attribute the news to the reporter.
It saddens me to see such great spirits go, a deep sadness.
From Wiki
Clare Hollingworth, OBE (10 October 1911 – 10 January 2017) was an English journalist and author, who was the first war correspondent to report the outbreak of World War II, described as "the scoop of the century". As a reporter for The Daily Telegraph in 1939, while travelling from Poland to Germany she spotted and reported German forces massed on the Polish border; three days later she was the first to report the German invasion of Poland.
