"By August 1944 the Germans had abandoned Bordeaux. In the city La Rochefoucauld found men in glorious French uniform in every café; on the streets, others wore holsters. “It seemed the heroes were two a penny, now that the danger had passed,” he noted. “The ostentation made me feel sick.”"
An incredible life. Brave chap. RIP

A brilliant article. I wonder if, after that much excitement and with that strong a desire to be part of the action, you can settle down to a normal life and feel fulfilled?
I doubt that you ever really can. I mean it's not as if in 1946 he went to grow grapes on a hillside...20 years to reintegrate and even then another 30+ years later will act where others merely stand.
Echo life well lived comment.
