Legacy and Recognition
Grover-Williams is recorded on the Brookwood Memorial in Surrey, England, and as one of the SOE agents who died for the liberation of France, he is listed on the Valençay SOE Memorial's Roll of Honour in the town of Valençay in France.
Grover-Williams was recommended for an MBE by the head of the SOE, Major-General Colin Gubbins, in September 1945 but when it became clear that he had died, the honour was not awarded.
The Saboteur, a video game released in 2009, features an Irish protagonist named Sean Devlin who is inspired by Grover-Williams.
