Roger and David visited Franck again in April this year and spent part of that time in the town of Amiens. The picture on the right shows Roger and Franck in front of the memorial to the Martyrs of the Resistance who were murdered by the Nazis during the Second World War.
Below is a picture of Amiens prison, the prison was bombed by RAF Mosquito aircraft in Operation Jericho on 18th February, 1944, in an attempt to release Resistance fighters being held there by the Gestapo. The intention was to blow down the wall surrounding the prison so the inmates could make their escape. As can be seen, the wall was breached and the location of the repair is still visible. There is also a memorial on the wall.
