Bonjour, Je suis la petite fille de Madame Hélène Wullaert.
La photo qui apparait fait partie des archives personnelles de ma grand mère - je l'ai remise en copie à Mr Dozier Jean Michel, il y a quelques années pour ses travaux de recherches concernant Mr Milton Ramsey tombé à Quesnoy sur deule 59 France. pour précisions, c'est Ma grand mère qui a conduit les aviateurs sur Montauban.
Bien cordialement
Hélène FERNANDEZ BOSSUYT
A few families helped english or american airmen. One man who lodged them was taken by Gestapo and airmen hid on the roof of the house.
