Excerpt (in translation): …On June 6, 1944, he joined a medical post in the maquis of the Carnelle forest, in Val-d'Oise. On June 21, he confided in his notebook, "I am 20 years old, a happy age, I want to become a man and a worthy Frenchman", now quoted on the commemorative plaque of the college that bears his name, at 88 rue Monge, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, close to his place of residence. He did not have time to do so, because he was arrested by a German patrol in the forest of Carnelle on August 15, 1944 and shot the next day at 6:45 p.m. on the local road No. 1, in Domont, at a place called "Les Quatre-Chênes”, in the company of twelve of his comrades.(Submitted on August 2, 2023.)
He was declared Mort por la France ("Died for France" - an honorary title) on February 19, 1945.
