Bob is especially remembered in Limoges because it was he and his SOE organiser who'd accepted the surrender of the city’s occupying German garrison; and following the liberation of France Bob joined SOE’s Force 136 in the Far East.
At his funeral last week in Paris Bob’s coffin was carried by serving members of the French special forces to recognise that he had also served in France's
post-WW2 special forces and secret service.
Tomorrow afternoon's tribute event will take place in the theatre of the Musée de la Résistance à Limoges
The programme will start at 2pm, be conducted in a combination of French and English andinclude a documentary, plus exclusive interview footage, tributes and personal memories -
