Libre Résistance - SOE F Section
Commemoration of the 104 agents of SOE F-Section who died in their mission to liberate France in WWI
This is the traditional annual ceremony which brings us together at the foot of the Memorial of Valençay where we pay homage to the memory of all our departed comrades, and in particular, to the memory of the 104 agents of F Section who lost their lives on operations or died in the Nazi concentration camps.
This is followed by a cocktail party at the Mairie and then lunch at the Orangerie du Chateau de Valencay.
