Royal Navy liaison personnel aboard French ships 1939-45
Publié : 09 août 2014, 22:25
I apologize for not being able to write in the French language. I am interested in documents, photographs, unpublished memoirs or published accounts in any language which mention Royal Navy (RN) liaison personnel aboard French warships during World War II. The RN assigned a British Naval Liaison Officer (BNLO) and a group of communications ratings (radio, signals, coding) to all Allied warships of minesweeper size or larger to ensure effective and secure communications with the RN. I have read several book-length accounts in English written by BNLOs, where part of the author's war service was liaison duty aboard French warships. I am also interested in reading sources in French which mention the RN liaison personnel. Can anyone direct me to documents, photographs or books/articles? Even having the name and rank of a BNLO on a particular French ship for a certain time period can be useful. I can read some French writing with difficulty and the use of a dictionary, and have a colleague at work who is fluent. If you prefer, you can reach me via private message on this forum. Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me!
