Sadly, however, the passing of our friends Étienne Preney, Pierre-Jean Cabut, Jean Fanor and Georges Duriaud, a veteran of the Brancion F.T.P. maquis who welcomed us several times.
Conclusion: a satisfactory year but no major operation. 2024 looks promising, with groups linked to the commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the Liberation.
