What you're asking is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

For details of officers, get in touch with member MJC, he might be able to find their personnel files.


You might also like to write your requests in both English and French, it might be easier for some of us to understand.

From page 491 of my book "Island of Fire" (http://www.leapinghorseman.com.au/pr...7510764X&cat=5).

The bridge over the Loire was 375 metres long, had a capacity of 16 tonnes and took only 22 hours to erect on 22-23 June 1940 with 14 bridging columns and 6 pioneer companies (1., 2. and 3./Pi.Btl.45, 2. and 3./Pi.Btl.31 and 3./Pi.Btl.2).
