U-Boat Pen Graffiti

Thanks to Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Corden, whose camera was working - unlike my own - when we toured the 'closed' areas of the U-Boat Pen complex, we have an image of wall-text left behind some 67 years ago, by a French soldier belonging to the 4th Régiment de Fusiliers Marins. Saint-Nazaire had, of course, been a heavily fortified 'pocket', which finally surrendered to the American General Kraemer and French General Chomel, on May 8th, 1945.
