The Belgians S.A.S. Parachutists CARETTE Roger KIA
CARETTE Roger , 3286, Pvt - August, 9, 1944 in La Chartre-sur-le-Loir (France)
Parachuted behind the enemy lines in Normandy on July 30, 1944, made proof in all the operations of a real courage.
In the night 9-10 August, in La Chartre-sur-le-Loir, seeing his Troop surprised by a German patrol, goes resolutely towards the enemy and opens fire, killing the nearest enemy; reached by a bullet in the heart, he falls itself mortally wounded; by his prompt intervention, and his bravery, he has permitted his comrades to be formed for the attack and to destroy the enemy until the last.
