    In Saint-Pierre-du-Jonquet, between September and November 1944, the corpses of shot patriots were discovered. The first was found in the woods in early September, then six new bodies were found on September 17 in the muddy water of a bomb hole and twenty-one more on November 15, 1946.

    A ceremony has been organized in Saint-Pierre-du-Jonquet since 1957 on the Sunday following November 11 in memory of the "28 men, mostly resistance fighters, who were killed in a small wood in the village, an area prohibited by the Germans. In July 1944, probably on the 14th, they were loosely tortured, shot in the back of the neck and thrown into a bomb hole. 11 victims have not yet been identified.
