The names of nurses at Rennes that I have found are: Roxanne Evette Gisele Gouzian "Big Bertha" Mairis Le Judec-Newcombe Claude Bertin Monique Bertin Genevieve Lesguer-Hervault Le Gac-Locke Annick Le Cam Yvonne Havard-Nevoux Jeanne Floch-Zacharias Jacqueline Du Castel Renee Clocherd-Pages Madame Glatre Marcelle Rio-Courtois Madame Kerihuel Madame Marie-Louise Pelle' Marcelle Ris Marie-Louise Draugard Monique Playoust Madame Terlicot Louise Ferlicot Janette Delaunay Simone Delaunay In 2016 I talked to Madame Pelle' and she said that the surviving nurses meet periodically. I suppose those could be other names to add to my list. But I see now that you are referring another hospital so ignore this.
Hello Jim, I'm sorry but I'm only doing research on the Cotentin peninsula. So I can't help you with the British sector... Radulf
Bonjour à tous, I hope you're all doing well in your different countries. I had to bring you more information about the paratroopers taken prisoner in June 1944 near Cherbourg. But I had to work on other subjects since my previous message. I have now finished writing my study. The first two parts have already been published in our quarterly review; the last one will be published by next summer (if the confinement allows it). Here are two photos of the Manoir de l'Épinay (49,458278 N - 1.668803 W), a former seigneurial residence that became a farm after the French Revolution, in the commune of Les Perques, near Bricquebec. It is in these buildings that several hundred paratroopers passed through between June 7 and 17, 1944. Next time, I will summarize my research. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones. Sincerely, Radulf For Dale: is it possible to know your father's name so I can quote his testimony in my article?
My father was Curtis L. Johnson, PFC Headquarters Company 3rd Battalion 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment a part of the 82nd Airborne Division.
