    In Saint-Pierre-du-Jonquet, the bodies of shot patriots were discovered between September and November 1944. The first was found in the woods at the beginning of September, then there were six new bodies, on September 17 in the muddy water of a bomb hole and twenty-one others 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, most of them resistance fighters, who found their death in a small wood in the village, an area prohibited by the Germans. In July 1944, probably the 14th, they were cowardly tortured, shot in the back of the head and thrown into a bomb hole. » 11 victims have not yet been identified.
