Sergeant Louis Fiot and Staff Sergeant Joseph Le Saux

In these parts died in battle the Sergeant Louis Fiot and the Chief Sergeant Joseph Le Saux on October 25, 1944 during the capture of the Lorient pocket.
The unequal balance of power between the Forces Françaises Combattantes and the German soldiers would claim the lives of Sergeant Louis Fiot and Chief Sergeant Joseph Le Saux following mortar fire.
American artillery retaliated two hours later, forcing the German soldiers to retreat towards Locmaria Guidel.
