On the day after Bastille Day 1944, during the final months of German occupation, members of the French Underground pose for a photograph with three Allied airmen who had evaded capture: RAF Flight Sergeant Eric Davis (back row, second from left); RAF Flying Officer Frank Salt (middle row, second from left); and RAAF Flight Sergeant Ray Perry of No. 466 Squadron (middle row, far right). Mrs Wyatt (front row, left) and her family sheltered Perry after his Halifax was shot down on 7 May 1944, until members of the Underground arrived and wanted the house. The airmen were taken to Paris but were betrayed and handed over to the Gestapo. Perry spent the remainder of the war in captivity. (AWM P02980.003)
