Page "Unity Mitford" Paragraph 25

In the article Bright pointed out that press photographers and other observers that witnessed the return of Mitford, and " her entourage " that he claims included other known Nazi supporters, to Britain on 3 January 1940 said that, " there were no outward signs of her injury ".

Liddell's diary entry for 2 January states " We had no evidence to support the press allegations that she was in a serious state of health and it might well be that she was brought in on a stretcher in order to avoid publicity and unpleasantness to her family.

" He had wanted to search her upon her return but had been prevented from doing so by the Home Secretary.

On 8 January, Liddell notes receiving a report from the Security Control Officers who were responsible for meeting the arrivals that states " there were no signs of a bullet wound.
