Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Grave of Lieut Comte Gabriel De Gramont in Fakenham cemetery in the town of Fakenham, Norfolk, England. Lieut Comte (Lieutenant, Count) Gabriel Antoine Armand De Gramont was a pilot in the Free French Air Force in WW2. He died aged 34 on 10th April 1943 when his plane crashed near RAF West Raynham. A special 70th anniversary service was held in 2013 when the mayor, Janet Holdom laid a wreath but the grave has seen little attention since. His family is planning to visit, although they live in the United States.Additional information. Gabriel de Gramont sent his wife and son, Sanche deGramont to safety in America, after escaping from Nazi occupied France, then made his way to England to join the R.A.F. and flew as a pilot in the Free French Air Force. He was stationed at Great Massingham and ran bombing missions over Germany. He died while flying a Boston IIIa, BZ324 when it crashed in 1943. Known to be a dramatic man, it is said that he was studying for his diplomatic corps exams and had a squalling baby at home, so he threw a rock through the police station window so that he’d be arrested and have a quiet place to study. |
