Solange Alexandre, French Resistance fighter in the Second World War, has died at 104

Solange Alexandre, one of the last surviving members of the French Resistance, has died at the age of 104 in a nursing home in Le Mans. Born in the Sarthe in 1922, she carried messages by bicycle as a courier from 1941 and in 1944 set up and led the Pas-de-Boeuf network, sheltering Allied airmen and taking part in the liberation of Tours. She later worked as a teacher, and she accepted the Legion d'Honneur in 2024 after twice turning it down. We pray for her family and all who loved her, that they may know God's comfort as they mourn her.
