Arthur Christie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Christie was seconded into Special Operations Executive on the 22 April 1940 at Aston House Stevenage, where he was to become one of the founding members of SOE. He was originally trained as an explosives expert, laying charges at the Coalface as a miner. It was this expertise that became the reason he was seconded from the regular army into MI6 (R) based at Aston House; this was the place christened "Churchill’s Toy Box." His file is now open at the Public Records Office HS 9/313/1.
