Violette Reine Elizabeth Bushell Szabo, GC, MBE, (26th June, 1921 – c. 5th February, 1945) was a World War II Allied secret agent. Madame Szabo volunteered to undertake a particularly dangerous mission in France. She was parachuted into France in April, 1944, and undertook the task with enthusiasm. In her execution of the delicate researches entailed she showed great presence of mind and astuteness. She was twice arrested by the German security authorities but each time managed to get away. Eventually, however, with other members of her group, she was surrounded by the Gestapo in a house in the south west of France. Resistance appeared hopeless but Madame Szabo, seizing a Sten-gun and as much ammunition as she could carry, barricaded herself in part of the house and, exchanging shot for shot with the enemy, killed or wounded several of them. By constant movement, she avoided being cornered and fought until she dropped exhausted. She was arrested and had to undergo solitary confinement. She was then continuously and atrociously tortured but never by word or deed gave away any of her acquaintances or told the enemy anything of any value. She was ultimately executed. Madame Szabo gave a magnificent example of courage and steadfastness.

Hi friends

This song and those that follow are by Andy Stewart. This is his most famous hit – A Scottish Solider – Sorry for the worn record –

Just watch your Kilt…

History about Andy:

The use of tartan patriotism and stereotypical Scottish humour goes back to Sir Harry Lauder and music hall songs. In the 1960s this strand was continued by the entertainer, Andy Stewart.

He was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1933, the son of a teacher. He moved to Arbroath as a child, and then trained as an actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.

He had several international hit singles – “Come in-Come in”, “Donald Where’s Yer Troosers?”, “A Scottish Soldier” (reached no. 1 position in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, spent 36 weeks in the UK Singles Chart in 1961 and was among the top 50 in the USA), “Campbeltown Loch”, “The Muckin’ O’ Geordie’s Byre”, “The Road to Dundee”,”The Battle’s O’er”, “Take Me Back”, “Tunes Of Glory”, and “Dr. Finlay” (1965). He is also remembered for being the compere of the The White Heather Club. This was a BBC Scotland television programme that existed as an annual New Year’s Eve party (19571968), and also as a weekly early evening series (19601968).

“Donald Where’s Yer Troosers?” was a hit in 1961 and again in 1989. Stewart is said to have written the song in 10 minutes as he sat, minus trousers, in the lavatory of a recording studio.[1] It was also recently featured on the American TV show “Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles” sung by one of the terminators, played by Garrett Dillahunt. Stewart includes an Elvis Presley impersonation half way through the song. On the strength of this comedy hit, Andy toured Australia and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in 1968, doing impersonations of Dean Martin. His skill with different accents is also evident on “The Rumour”, where the rumour moves across Scotland and into Ireland, with Andy speaking in a different accent for each place.

His albums, such as Scottish Soldier, ( This 45 rpm single is from the hit) The Best of Andy Stewart and Andy Stewart’s Scotland, were also popular internationally. In 1973 he recorded a “live” album in Johannesburg, South Africa, entitled Andy Stewart in South Africa – White Heather Concert.

His international appeal was well-illustrated by his appearance before 15000 people at the World Fair, New York in 1964, where he received a standing ovation. During the 1960s and 1970s, he frequently and successfully toured Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. He also appeared in concert throughout South Africa in 1968, 1971 and 1973, drawing large audiences.

A prolific lyricist, he wrote words to many traditional Scottish tunes, e.g. “Green Hills of Tyrol” (which became “A Scottish Soldier”), “The Black Bear” (”Tunes of Glory”), and “The Battle is Over”(”The Battle’s O’er”) etc.

Stewart took part in the 1961 and 1962 Royal Variety Performances and also appeared before the Royal Family at a Christmas Party at Windsor Castle.

In retirement he moved back to Arbroath and died there in 1993. Before he died he did a small concert at Arbroath High School (which he had attended) for the pupils. He was also due to appear in a concert at Glasgow’s Pavilion Theatre. A sheltered housing scheme in Arbroath, ‘Andy Stewart Court’, was named in his memory.

Stewart died after giving one of his most renowned performances during a Gala Benefit Concert for Children’s Hospice Association Scotland. He came to the Usher Hall in Edinburgh from his sick bed to appear for the children, and gave his last ever performance.

Stewart was awarded an mbe in 1976.

Stewart’s son Ewan Stewart is an actor, whose film and television credits include Rob Roy, Titanic and Only Fools and Horses.

Enjoy

Richard
