Dear cousins,

Saturday, August 20, 2022, for the 80th anniversary of Operation Jubilee, we were in Saint-Nicolas d'Aliermont, at the “Musée de l'Horlogerie” to meet Nicolas Paquin and Léandre Marsolais accompanied by his mother... and the historian who found G. Audet's helmet.
It is with great emotion that we had the joy of meeting Nicolas Paquin, Léandre and his mother to tell us the story of the helmet of Gilbert Audet, great-grandfather of Léandre... (to look at the photos on Facebook [Musée de l'Horlogerie de Saint-Nicolas d'Aliermont].
I am also sending you some pictures...

We would like to share with our cousins in Canada these very moving moments and congratulations to Nicolas who is doing a tremendous job for the memory of all the young Canadian volunteers who came to France in 1942. Dead, prisoners and all the volunteers, we owe them this testimony. The France remains grateful and once again we ourselves are impressed to see all that the department of Seine Maritime has achieved as a gathering since March in memory of this Jubilee.
Saint-Nicolas d'Aliermont erected a monument for the Canadian prisoners who were arrested and "camped" in this small village. On Saturday there was a large delegation to this monument.
