COULD any readers help a M Pascal Leschaeve, of Abbeville, France?

He is writing a book about a young French Resistance fighter shot by German troops for helping Allied troops on and after 'D' Day?

He is researching the history of Stalag Hospital, Rennes, and wants to trace the family and friends of the late Private Walter Hayhurst, of Clitheroe, who served with the 5th Battalion East Lancs Regiment and died on July 24, 1944, aged 23.

Please contact me and I will forward the information to Ms Leschaeve.
