George Reginald Starr (6 April 1904 – 2 September 1980), code name Hilaire, was a British mining engineer and an agent of the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) organisation in World War II. He was the organiser (leader) of the Wheelwright network in southwestern France from November 1942 until the liberation of France from Nazi German occupation in September 1944. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance in occupied Europe against the Axis powers. SOE agents in France allied themselves with French Resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England.

  • George Reginald Starr, né le 6 avril 1904 à Londres et mort le 2 septembre 1980 à Senlis, fut un agent secret britannique du Special Operations Executive pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Il dirigea le réseau action WHEELWRIGHT, qui aida la résistance française dans le Sud-Ouest du 8 novembre 1942 au 16 septembre 1944, et qui est considéré comme l'une des plus belles réussites du SOE en France. Attention : certaines sources commettent l’erreur de confondre George Starr « Hilaire » avec George Hiller, également agent du SOE, chef du réseau FOOTMAN. (fr)
