“La vague ne détruit pas le granit. Vous, marins de la France Libre, ce que vous avez fait pour la France en poursuivant la lutte sur la mer, envers et contre tout, dans le plus grand drame de notre histoire, rien, ni le temps, ni les passions, ne l'effaceront jamais. Je vous salue, mes camarades. Charles de Gaulle. The Free French Naval Forces H.Q. were harboured in this House by the British people 1940 - 1945. Translation: The wave does not destroy the granite. You, sailors of Free France, which you made for France by continuing the fight on the sea, towards and against all, in the greatest drama of our history, nothing, neither time, nor passions, will never erase it.I greet you, my comrades. Charles de Gaulle. The Free French Naval Forces H.Q. were harboured in this House by the British people 1940 - 1945.”
