Hello,



Today a Frenchman told me about the Memorial at Montormel-Coudehard in

France, dedicated to the Polish military personnel who fought at Falaise.



He was at Falaise as a youngster with his mother and siblings during the

fighting. He has a strong fondness for the British, American and Canadian

military as a result of their involvement at Falaise, but his greatest

admiration is reserved for the Polish Forces and their mighty effort in

battle.



He told me the Memorial at Montormel-Coudehard registry is steeped in

records and specifics about the Polish who fought in the area, including

names and personal details of those who lived and died. I am surprised to

think that such a compact collection of personal details would be kept

there.



Are there some among you who know of this Memorial and can verify the

existence of the records I've referred to, and can advise the best means to

make contact with staff at the Memorial?



Thank you.

Hi Konrad,

If you google "memorial at Montormel-Coudehard" you will get lots of

pages and info.  I tried the page with the e-mail address and it

didn't work, but another gave info on the Poles.

If you need any help, send me a mail and I will translate stuff or try

to help.

Konrad,



This site is in French but at least gives you a taster, as well as

contact address and telephone number.

Having bored our daughter silly with the memorials and visitor centres

on the Normandy beaches and around Caen this summer, I was not allowed

to venture inland but be assured, the French take very good care of

these memorials and cemeteries, and most of the staff speak English!

I have also come upon another web site that shows the advance of the 1st polish armoured division. Go into the History tab, then into the maps.
