"Here ... died for France 23.24.25 August 1944"

"This cross is erected on the site where five resistance fighters of the ORA (Organization of Resistance of the Army) were shot on August 23, 1944. Attacking the German troops in full retreat from the fighting in Normandy, they were surrounded, taken, tortured and shot dead on the spot. Three resistance comrades arrested a few hours later suffered the same fate. Walker, remember their sacrifice. "
