This site has been created to honour the memory of those men who answered General De Gaulles call to arms and continued to serve their country from foreign shores until its liberation.
The personal pages on this site are to honour those men who either remained or returned to Great Britain and especially the Isle of Wight after the war.
It is not intended to tell the complete story of the FNFL presence in Cowes here, rather to allow the reader to build their own impression through the many links discovered in the search for evidence of their time in Marvins Yard and the operations they embarked upon.
The pages that follow are designed to show the scale of their endeavour.
