Another veteran leaves us.
It is being reported that Frank Bourlet, from Glider No. 1, the last veteran of the Coup de Main group that spearheaded the assault on Pegasus Bridge, has passed away. May he rest in peace.
A privilege to get to know such a lovely man, my thoughts go to his family, and may he forever sleep peacefully. God bless and thank you for your courage and resistance, good night my chevelier
I met Frank many years ago with my colleague Andy Ansell we were involved in the OBLI living history group. Very sad news. Rest in peace a true hero of a changed Europe and a true Gent.
Proud to have honoured his memory representing Frank on the veterans charity, 75th anniversary. Run to Pegasus.. I swear his fighting spirit was with me every step of the way. A True Hero like so many others who stood in harms way and gave their life fighting for freedom against Tyranny and oppression.
Frank was my mums brother..and my hero..
Thank You ..
