"Hallo, I am thrilled to discover this site. I live in Lismore, Australia. My father, Jean Kervroedan escaped in a fishing boat, the Dalch Mad, from Douarnenez and arrived at Newlyn in April 1943. There were I think 19 men on that boat, including a Canadian airman. My father passed away a year ago, and I am going to be visiting Douarnenez in August, but decided to also visit Penzance for a couple of days in the hope of finding further information for a book I'd like to write about my parents. I will be in the Newlyn area on the 24th and 25th August. If anyone responds to this post, perhaps we can get in touch.
Many thanks,
Yvonne Hartman"
Dalc'h Mad means 'hang on' - so this is one of things that doesn't translate easily. This may be the boat after the same family's boat mentioned in the comment above (Bihen like Behan in Irish Gallic means little)- there is another photo and story on the Free French web site of the vessel and story Yvonne mentioned. To get a rough translation of the story - highlight the text and copy (CTRL+C), go to the Google home page, More and select translate - paste (CTRL+V) the text copied.
