Message from the Public Relations Manager of Rombas:

I have a few documents which should be interesting such as:

    - The memorial in Rombas

    - The inauguration of the memorial
            (such personnalities as the French minister in charge of veterans,
            the counsul general of the united States, two senators, 3 members
            of the house of representatives, several mayors and presidents of
            veterans associations were attending)

    - Portraits of Jim Henderson (at the time and in the 90's)

    - A picture of the original 243rd FAB guidon (batt A) framed and displayed
            in the Rombas city hall (in the town counil meeting room)

    - Pictures of the celebration of the liberation of the town of Rombas
            (I have some really nice ones with Jim Henderson in military
            clothes in an WW2 jeep)

Best regards.
Jean-Louis
