The Cross of Lorraine

The Cross of Lorraine sculpture, Tarbes, High Pyrenees, France

The wording on this particular sculpture of the Cross of Lorraine is 'Au Général de Gaulle' (In English: "To General de Gaulle"). This is a simple sculpture representing the WW2 Gaullist resistance to the German Occupation. The Cross of Lorraine was the symbol of this resistance during the war. Sometimes few words are required to represent a thing of great significance.

After the war he was forced to spy for the Russians, he escaped and was later captured and sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor in Siberia. For nine years his whole identity was nothing more than the number ÿ 763. He was forced to work twelve hours a day down a coal mine, with only two days off a year. He was one of the last prisoners of war released in 1955. In this photograph he is wearing his camp jacket.
