I had no idea that England was only about 30 miles from Paris !

The flag on your helmet looks good in that Town Didier 

Take care,

Thanks Alan
See, we are closer to each other than some may think!.... The helmet is an Arai Chaser V, not easy to find in France.

Angleterre is a hamlet of the small town of Anderville, this hamlet was first called "Les Cornets", I could not find any explanation why it was changed to its current name, or when?

This village of Andeville lived a very painful episode on the eve of the Liberation in 1944. While the German retreat accelerates, a German soldier, posing as a deserter, managed to get in touch with local resistants, members of the maquis of Chambly. After a few days, this soldier flees away and returns Aug. 27, 1944, accompanied by a SS troop.  All men of the village are gathered and 16 of them are shot on the spot including Mr. Georges Petit the then Mayor.
