A SOUVENIR PIECE OF MY LANCASTER AIRCRAFT PA.992, LE-Y, RETRIEVED BY ME FROM ITS ORIGINAL CRASH-SITE NEAR TRAMONT-LASSUS, MEURTHE-ET-MOSELLE, IN EASTERN FRANCE, A LITTLE TIME AFTER THE END OF THE WAR, DURING A “VISIT OF THANKS” TO MY “SAVIOUR” MADAME ROSE DUPRÉ, AND HER BROTHER, HENRI, ON THAT FATEFUL NIGHT OF 24/25 JULY, 1944.
