This blog and Bill Forster's book and memories of Calais at the beginning of World War II, led to our being contacted by descendants of Reginald George Rainey (*) and Tom Sarginson (**).

Ce blog a pour objet de réunir les britanniques et leurs descendants français ainsi que leurs amis pour partager leurs histoires. This blog is designed to enable British people and their French descendants as well as their friends to share their stories.
