What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Reckless Rat]

Nice day down here, but a little cooler than yesterday. Took the RP out for a tootle round the general area and thought I'd stop off for a photo opportunity and say hello again to Casimiro and Gregorio, two French resistance fighters shot by the Germans in 1944. Although having Spanish ancestry both were locals  born in France, who formed part of a group of Spanish guerillas targetting the Germans prior to the allied invasions. Casimiro was captured and shot on the spot on 30th May 1944. Another, Manuel Zurita escaped but was later captured, tortured and his mutilated body thrown down a nearby pit shaft. Gregorio was caught & killed on 4th June, just a few hundred yards from this spot. His body was found in the river nearby.

Lest we forget.
