“The Londais did not miss their rendezvous with History”

And of François de Leusse, liberator of the château de Brégançon, who distinguished himself heroically during the Alsace campaign and who was the mayor of the commune for 24 years. And of these 15 young Londais enlisted in the liberation troops to continue the fight all the way to the East of France. Not forgetting Louis Bussonne, executed with several bullets to the head by the chief of the Feldgendarmes of the Kommandantur, after having neutralized the firing system of the pont du Pansard. “I also want to recall the exemplary courage of the Londais who did not miss, in this month of August 1944, their rendezvous with History. Finally, let us not forget all those who, in their differences, in their diversities, merged and linked their destiny to that of France. To the veterans present today, I express my infinite gratitude. Many of your brothers-in-arms fell on the field of honor, right here, in Provence,” recalled François de Canson.
