In 1949, St. James’s Palace announced that Noor would receive a George Cross; that August, Noor’s brother, Vilayat, and her sister, Claire, accepted the medal at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Vilayat especially appreciated Vera Atkins’ efforts to determine Noor’s fate. The year before, he had sent Atkins a card. On the front was particularly lovely photo of noor. Inside, Vilayat write, “To Vera Atkins. With gratitude -- a feeling I know Nora would have shared for your enterprise in following in her tracks in the German wilderness of the aftermath.” ~ Page 249
