Summary edit
| Description | Kathleen Maria Margaret Sissmore, called Jane Sissmore, married 1939 and thereafter calling herself Jane Archer. Pictured in 1924 on becoming a barrister.
Photograph from Andrew, Christopher (2009). The Defence of the Realm : The Authorized History of MI5. London: Allen Lane. ISBN 9780713998856, after page 168, credited as "family archives". In 1929 she became the first female officer in Briain's Security Service, MI5, and was still their only woman officer at the time of her dismissal for insubordination in 1940. She had been in charge of operations against Soviet intelligence. She then joined the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). When Kim Philby, later to be exposed as a double agent, became her boss he reduced her investigative work because he feared she might uncover his treachery. In his memoirs he wrote of her "Jane was perhaps the ablest professional intelligence officer ever employed by MI5". |
