Maille aid story fuels Franco American relief drive
The article recounts how Lorient submarine base survivor Maille’s plight inspired Californians the Hales to adopt French villages. From 1946 through 1947, adoptive families and figures like Baroness Amaury de la Grange and Robert Woods Bliss funded model farms, schools, and gifts for Martryed sites. The Atlantique group coordinated aid, expanding to La Motte aux Bois, Touffreville, dHerbilly, and La Loupe, with Dunkirk Port relief as a separate effort. Fey in Lorraine now awaits aid for its 56 families with a single plea from its mayor: help for all or none.
