It's generally assumed that while London was suffering the worst effects of German bombing during the Second World War Churchill held cabinet meetings and slept under Whitehall in the War Rooms there.

She was one of eight censors Churchill used - her job was to make sure that no-one said anything out of line that the Germans might pick up on. If they did - her orders were to cut them off.
