Marina Letsoalo (16 December 1924) is a retired Basel-Ebelian officer who served during the Second Europan War.
Marina was studying biology until she was forcibly drafted into the army as a member of the Auxiliary Territorial Service Corps. As a result, Marina took time between her job and her studies. It was not until 1942 when she agreed on an offer to make her a part of a special operations unit as a medic that she was forced to temporarily halt her studies. She later became a member of Torch Company under the Special Air Service as a medical personnel. However, she was often granted leave in order to focus on her studies, to which she was able to graduate just 2 months after the war ended.
Marina married her fellow company member, Henry Voss and had 3 children together. Marina is the great-grandmother of Rebecca Voss, a personnel of the ILESOC.
