The anniversary of the death of M. Guedj, a brilliant Jewish attorney who escaped from Morocco in 1940 to join the Free French forces in England, was marked here in a moving ceremony at the court house. The British and French consuls here attended the services.
M. Guedj, who was killed in a bombing mission with the Royal Air Force against German warships off the Norwegian coast, was known to the British wartime press as a mysterious Frenchman named “Maurice. ” During 127 missions before his death, M. Guedj earned a number of British and French medals and was an RAF Wing Commander at the time of his death.
