Memorial to the Kerihuel Shooting

This monument commemorates the murder of eighteen French resistance fighters, paratroopers and civilians.

At dawn on 12 July 1944, eighteen resistance fighters were murdered by French collaborators at Kerihuel: Seven paratroopers, eight verzetstrijders and three farmers (including Messrs. Alexandre and Rémi Gicquello, father and son, 46 and 18 years old, and Mr. Ferdinand-Mathurin Danet, 49 years).

Captain Pierre Marienne, nicknamed the "lion" of Saint Marcel after the battle of 18 June, was also one of the victims. He is buried in Plumelec
