Dumon, despite her youth, was one of the Comet Lines most experienced and longest-serving members. In 1944, she unmasked a German infiltrator, Jacques Desoubrie, who had been responsible for the arrests of many Comet Line members. Known to the Gestapo she fled to England and remained there until the end of the war. (en)
