Bob Le Sueur

Robert Winter Le Sueur, MBE (3 October 1920 – 5 November 2022) was a British humanitarian. A resident of Jersey, he was awarded an MBE for his efforts in assisting escaped Russian prisoners, in Jersey, during the Nazi Occupation of the Channel Islands.



During the Occupation, Le Sueur was able to move about due to his work as an insurance agent. He acted as relay in a network of people sheltering escapees: from 1942 he handled eight or nine escapees. After the war he was a teacher of English and foreign languages.

He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 Birthday Honours "for services to the community."
