Has anyone any knowledge of data bases that hold registers or name index of French resistance. I realise this is a needle in a haystack quest but I am seeking anything to these men: Robert Tournaut Pierre Mouret or Mouvet Alfred Tirmaille Piere Mathelin It is thought that one or more of these men assisted the Allies in the role of interpretation duties after the invasion in 1944. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you.

There are references to a Pierre Mouret in the article below, but have no idea if it is the one and same as you are looking for - Peut-on mourir pour un drapeau ? | La Libération de Paris TD
TD I have a very small snap photograph dated 1939 from which without doubt I can identify Pierre as being one and the same person because of the very distinct features. I need to translate that article to learn more, this is a remarkable finding because I have attempted so many searches myself and never located anything. Thank you so much for your time in finding this for me I think it will provide some fantastic information. I will update this accordingly. Thank you again.
If you Google "Pierre Mouret 1944" - Pierre Mouret - Recherche Google then it is one of the results which you can use Google translate, which in this case is good TD
In my search for the cyclist Evelyn Hamilton / Helsen I have used these museums in France: Musée de la résistance en ligne Official site of the Museum of the Resistance of Toulouse Portal of the Second World War Portal of the French Resistance Portal of Military History Intelligence Portal Portal of Toulouse Museum of Liberation Service historique de la Défense (SHD) - Annuaire | service-public.fr
Occasionally members of the French Resistance acting in capacities such as interpretors and guides/drivers are mentioned in Jedburgh reports.It does mean that these reports are scanned through which might be tedious. I have read through a number of Jedburgh unit reports of those operating in Brittany and found them very informative. There are a number of these reports kept by US archives which can be searched on line.Additionally some individual reports are available on the internet by searching. National Archives |
