Add PhotosOn 15 January 1943, Canadian Air Force Pilot, William Ferguson crashed his aircraft near the village of Damigny. His burial there was ordered by the German authorities on 18 January. To show their solidarity with the cause for which he had died, a large crowd descended upon the churchyard to pay their last respects. As flowers were laid on the grave the Germans took this as a provocation and, alerting the Feldgendarmarie, confiscated the identity papers of all those present. On 14 and 15 February 1943, 10 hostages, of whom 4 were taken from their classroom, were dispatched to concentration camps. Four of the ten hostages would never return.
