Go for action ...

In Nouvion, members of the local Resistance are waiting patiently for a radio message in the cellar of building opposite the Cafe 'Au Lait' .   

Radio message - "Alfonse a un moustache verte" is received, the signal for action. Equipment, explosives and weapons are taken out of their hiding places and the Resistance make their way along the railway line towards the rail gun installation near St Honore-Sur-Mer.

Also commandos have landed and are being guided by a resistance fighter to their target ....

The Guns of Nouvion Part 2.

The next morning Robert Odd-Fellowes found something else on his desk.

The previous day, a photo recce had been sent across the channel.

Objective; a site South East of Nouvion.

What was found confirmed the information sent by the British agent in the area. The gun that had been harassing shipping along the coast between the harbours that were his responsibility had been located.

Again he wondered on the fate of the agent .

Along with the photos was confirmation that an attack was to be launched by the RAF to silence the guns, details no doubt would follow.
