French Soldier
Leon, Second-Maitre (Petty Officer) of the Commando Kieffer, was one of the 177 Frenchmen who took part in the Normandy landings. After D-Day, he took part in the Battle of Normandy until August 27th, 1944 when N°4 Commando was put to rest in Great Britain.
In November, he returned to the front in the Netherlands with his comrades. He took part in the Walcheren landing and the capture of Vlissingen (operation Infatuate). His unit took part in several other operations, including raids on the island of Shouwen: Intemperate and Interruption. By May 8th, 1945, N°4 Commando was still in the Netherlands, and in reality, was living out the end of the war somewhat on the sidelines.
