The Royal Navy and two resistance fighters honored in ViervilleRead the rewritten text

This reading version has been rewritten from the newspaper clipping. Connecting phrases and any reconstructed words are not a verbatim quotation.

The Royal Navy was honored in Vierville through Cyril Banks, who had participated in the demining of the waters of the Channel, an essential prerequisite for the landing.

Two new streets in the municipality have also been dedicated to Robert Boulard and Désiré Lemière, in memory of the help provided by the resistance to the success of Operation Overlord.
