Execution of those shot at Kerfany les Pins

Passers-by, Beware, Respect these places.

On this very spot, 20 French Resistance fighters and one English paratrooper were shot on July 29, 30 and 31, 1944, by German occupation troops .
Their bodies were thrown into the 5 pits surrounding this stele.
Exhumed on August 10, as soon as the hour of the liberation sounded, they were taken to MOËLAN where their solemn funeral took place.
Dead for France we owe it to them never to forget their sacrifice .
