Remarks | One of the citizens of Jeumont, who was also a young member of the French Resistance, found his body on the morning of the 3rd. Her name was Colette Venet at the time. She later married and became Colette Delantree (known by everyone as Mamie Coco). She always remembered his sacrifice, and was instrumental in having his name included on their war veterans memorial stele outside city hall. Until last year, she went to his grave at Ardennes every year on the anniversary of his death. This year, her health did not allow the trip. Two years ago, she and another citizen encouraged the city of Jeumont to rename a street in his honor. |
