Hi Jon,

As the nephew of one of the soldiers murdered there, L/Cpl. George Pollard, I couldn' agree more. I don't know if you already know the story about my uncle. His body was never found.

History Televison did do a documentary touching on the Abbaye along with other murders in Normandy. David Paperny films, "Murder In Normandy", aired November 11th, 1999. My mother and I were in the documentary. My uncle's murder was one of the story lines for the film.

It would be very fitting if History Television would do something on all twenty men murdered there.

I know there are many books that mention the murders there, I myself have written a book about my uncle's life up to the time of his murder, the book is called "Missing".

Thanks for thinking about the men at the Abbaye.
