Fernande Volral (1920-1944) est une résistante née en France, qui vécut à Charleroi puis à Jette lorsqu'elle se mariera. Elle intégra l'Armée belge des partisans et y mènera des opérations de sabotage. Dénoncée, elle est arrêtée, déportée, jugée et guillotinée aux côtés de Marguerite Bervoets (qui a donné son nom à une rue de Forest). (remark in French, as published)
