secret war in occupied France during the second world war has captured the heart and soul of a Clitheroe headteacher. Mr David Harrison,
headteacher of Pendle County Primary School, has been r iv e te d to research and books about the French Resistance movement e v e r since watching a television series on the subject in 1980. But Mr Harrison is
more than just a history buff interested in cold facts and clinical studies about another era. There is a man behind his mission. His name is Francis Cammaerts. He is still liv ing — and Mr Harrison dined with him this sum mer in a French cafe. Mr Harrison tells the
story of Cammaerts with breathless enthusiasm, digressing only to note various coincidences which have fanned his interest and ultimately led to the rendezvous. The son of a Belgian

relatively straight by his inherited moral standards.
The son will have neither religious beliefs nor moral standards. Religious education in schools has almost ceased to
exist. Having no religious convictions, many teachers fail to appreciate its value. Parents have given up even trying to control their wayward offspring, but give them money to go out and annoy someone else. It began with the young parents being pleasure bent, seeking to avoid staying at home with their children, preferring to pay baby sitters to come in to endure the antics of their undisciplined children.
This has shaken family life to its roots and bodes ill for future days. Children from Christian homes whose manners and
attitudes are noted as being different from the heed less and careless are apt to be scoffed at by their more numerous comtemporaries.
Are you asking where it will till end? It will even-
luully load to hell on earth, unless more people Ret tired of it all and begin to follow Jesus Christ, who

poet, who wrote about the horrors of the first world war, Mr Cammaerts was born in England. He stud ied history at Cambridge and, as Mr Harrison was delighted to discover, later became a teacher. When war broke out, he
was a conscientious objec tor. But the death of his brother, while in the RAF, changed the course of his life.
“Suddenly, he thought
he had to do something for his country. He spoke French because of his father and a friend per suaded him to join the Special Operations Execu tive,” Mr Harrison said. The SOE was an organi
sation which tried to cause Germany as much harm as possible in occupied coun tries, committing sabotage and making life difficult for the enemy, to show its discontent. In France, there was a
network of Resistance people, known as the Maquis, who worked under leaders trained in Britain. “Cammaerts learned to
set up cells of people who knew each other, but no one else, so that if one was caught only the 25 people in the group would be lo s t , ” Mr H a r r is on explained. “He had 200 cells under his control in a network
codenamed ‘Jockey.’ There were 10,000 people who had to trust him comple tely. His job was to make sure they were all co-or dinated, had the right sup plies of weapons and knew what targets to attack.” He was in charge of an

cors were very good at that, but the Germans had become so sick of them that they suddenly landed 10,000 soldiers and there was a massacre. There were 900 people mur
dered, mainly women and children. “ Cammaerts saw 90

Bosnia today,” Mr Harri son said. During their meeting
this summer, Monsieur Cammaerts told Mr Harri son that while the mas sacre was a tragedy, hav ing 10,000 German soldiers in the south was prefera ble to them hindering the allied invasion in the north. Within two months,

The attack had destroyed 4,000 German vehicles, leJving a trail of twisted metal 15 kilo metres long and fiv e metres high.
One of the uncanny coin
cidences which led to Mr Harrison meeting Mon sieur Cammaerts was that his (laughter, Jane, began dating a French boy at col- le g e who came from Livron.
Soon after, Mr Harrison
discovered that his war time hero, now 77, was actually living near the village and his daughter managed to find his address in a telephone directory while visiting her boyfriend’s family. “ I wrote to him and said
that I had been reading all about him and would he privileged i f he could spend an hour or two with me for a chat. By return of post, I received a letter back saying he would,” explained Mr Harrison. “He is a person I have a
tremendous amount of admiration for. It was an absolute delight to meet him. When it happened, I could hardly believe it was true.” Mr Harrison would love
to hear from anyone locally who shares his interest in the SOE. He can be contacted at Pendle County Primary School (Clitheroe 28589).
