Dear friends, 

Here are some photos which represent the same places now and sixty years ago. 
If some of you are interested to see now the same places that they met during the war, I would be happy to take some photos and sending you after. But I can do only in this part of France where I live: around nice, L'Escarene, Col de Braus, Sospel, for example. 

Read you son sincerely
