Hello from Normandy.
Looking for any relatives of Patrick PORTEOUS VC N°4 Cdo.
I plan to display a plaque in his memory in Ste-Marguerite-sur-mer ( N°4 Cdo Square ) next August for the 75th Anniversary of DIEPPE Raid.
It will be great if someone of his family could be there.
So, if someone, could help, it will be so fine.
Best Wishes
Stéphane

I was thinking about this only last night.
If I still have his daughter's email address I'll contact her.
That'll be a grand place to display it, Stephane.

Thanks.

Guess who I've just received an email from? )
I've passed on your email, Bill, and have told her about Noel and Stephane.
