Plaque commemorating the Resistance

Ste.-Marie du Ménez-Hom, Finistère (29), France

Translation: "Eighteen British and American aviators were hidden in this chapel in September and October 1943 during the German occupation.
"Thanks to the unreserved assistance of the local populace and to the devotion of the Bordeaux Loupiac network and the sacrifice of its leader Jean-Claude Camors, every one of them succeeded in regaining England in fishing boats from Camaret and Douarnenez."
