- Benjamin Hodkinson Cowburn MC*, Croix de Guerre, Chevalier of the Legion of Honour (1909–1994), code named Benoit and Germain, was an agent of the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) organization during World War II. He was the creator and leader of the Tinker network (or circuit) which operated in the area of Troyes, France. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in countries occupied by the Axis powers, especially Nazi Germany. SOE agents allied themselves with resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England. Cowburn was sent into occupied France on four different missions during World War II. He was the longest serving F-Section (French Section) SOE agent. He was never captured by the Germans. Of the more than 400 SOE agents who worked in France during World War II, M. R. D. Foot, the official historian of the SOE, named Cowburn as one of SOE's half-dozen "best men." Cowburn was a prudent and practical agent, much concerned with the security of the French people with whom he worked. (en)
- Sir Benjamin Hodkinson Cowburn (Lancashire, 13 mars 1909-Boulogne-Billancourt, 17 décembre 1994) est, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un agent secret britannique du Special Operations Executive. Il est envoyé quatre fois en France et y accomplit ses missions avec une grande efficacité sans jamais être arrêté, ce qui constitue un record de longévité (1941 à 1944)[réf. nécessaire], grâce à son sens aigu de la sécurité.
