Pte. Marcel Louis Busnot
French Army 9th Regiment d'Coma
from:Paris, France
My father, Marcel Busnot, was called to duty by the French Government. 66.048/4 Private 2nd Class Marcel Louis Busnot served with the 9th Regiment d'Coma during WW2. He was captured by the Germans on June 24, 1940 and was a POW at Stalag XI B until his release on May 23, 1945. We have the following French document of his release "Carte de Rapatrie 0203055" and "Declaration" documents stating Class of 1937 - mobilized in 1937 to the 9th Regiment d' Coma. Interestingly, he died on Veterans day on November 11, 1997.
Any information at all will be greatly appreciated, he disclosed very little to me about his survival thru the 5 years other than that he had escaped once, went to England, where he was re-equipped to fight the Germans then he was recaptured shortly after with British soldiers.
