Claude Dansey, the son of a soldier, was born in 1876. Educated at Wellington College he served in the British Army in South Africa.
Recruited by MI5 he was in charge of "port intelligence" and the surveillance of civilian passengers during the First World War. In 1917 he joined MI1c and worked in Switzerland and the Balkans.
After the war he went into business but remained a part-time agent of MI5. After losing his money in the Wall Street Crash Dansey worked as a full-time agent for MI6 in Italy.
Eventually Dansey became deputy-chief of MI6. He also became head of the Z Section of the SIS. Dansey controlled agents throughout Europe. However, on 9th November 1939, one of his senior agents, Payne Best, was kidnapped by the Germans and details of Z agents became known to the enemy.
