Tempsford Memorial, War memorial at St Peter's Church in Tempsford, England

The Tempsford Memorial features a Carrara marble column on a black granite plinth, displaying names of 75 female agents and RAF personnel.

The memorial recognizes Special Operations Executive agents and RAF squadrons 138 and 161, which conducted secret missions into Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II.

Names inscribed on the memorial include 29 women agents arrested by German authorities, with 16 executed and three dying in prison camps.

Located in the Millennium Sanctuary near St Peter's Church cemetery, the memorial includes a mosaic disc with a white dove against a blue sky.

Prince Charles completed the memorial's mosaic during its unveiling in 2013, followed by a ceremonial Lysander aircraft flypast in 161 Squadron colors.
