DIARY 14th – 24th JUNE 1940
Transcript of Nancy’s escape diary written in the 1980’s.
Reflection from 1988
From a cutting in the "Daily Telegraph" dated 9th November 1979 at the time of Madam de Gaulle's death:
"During the 1939-45 War, she was at his side in Britain, having followed him there on the last ship to leave Brest in June 1940. But for the car breaking down she would have caught an earlier ship which was torpedoed".
It appears from the above that we were lucky to have reached England.
It appears too that we left France twenty four hours later than Madam de Gaulle and her family.
