Hello, For my thesis topic, I'm looking for any informations about French women (from Normandy) who married to British soldiers during WWII : testimonies, documents, archives, ... I didn't found any informations in the French archives, and I don't know where search in the British archives. Thanks, Regards, Paddle
Hello For starters, try searching the testimonies on BBC People's War. It has no search engine but use google or similar to search the website name together with some keywords or browse the Category 'Love in Wartime' BBC - WW2 People's War - Love in Wartime Category This doesn't really fit your criteria, but it was found within a minute: BBC - WW2 People's War - Memories of a Very Brave French Resistance Fighter I wonder though if your parameter for marriages “during” Ww2 is set too narrow. I’d imagine there’d be more immediately post-war. Good luck with your research.
Daughter of a French war bride worked at a liquor store in our town and sold me my first underage booze. Bacardi rum which my friends and I drank in the woods after school and got sick on. Marcelle. Very pretty but at 17 or 18 she was an 'older woman' and way out of my league
Hello Dave, Thank you for the anecdote. Do you have more informations about her ? The city ? The name of his husband ? From where was she ?
No question of marriage, but I believe that my father did his best to maintain the Entente Cordiale in Normandy. He still has these two photos.
