    Hello, Goldsmith's correct code name is VALENTIN when he was working in France in July August 1944 alongside Camille Rayon-Archiduc.
    I wrote a book about it.
    La SAP-R2, parachutages et atterrissages en Provence, 1943-1944, t.1 chronique d'une expérience de guerre, editions Vérone, 2024.
    thanks
