Moussey |

The Moussey Memorial honours the Citizens of Moussey in the Vosges, France for their covert help and assistance to the members of the 2nd Special Air Service Regiment who served during WW2 during “Operation Loyton” in August & September 1944.

The Cross of Lorraine

The Cross of Lorraine was the symbol of Resistance in France during World War Two. This Cross was designed by the Blacksmith Bromley O’hare. The steel structure has three bars throughout and these represent the French National Motto: –

Liberte ~Egalite ~ Fraternite.

The Colour is Traffic Light Red similar to the Cross on many French Flags during WW2 and that many still do at times of Remembrance. All parts of the Cross were hand-forged, with a stainless steel base, crossbar connections and all fittings.

The Cross is set in a small copse of Pine Trees that originally came from a Forest Guards Cottage near Moussey. Around the Cross we have planted Broom and Blue Blossom (Ceanothus).
