Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Plaque of the Memorial for the S.A.S Brigade in Sennecey-le-Grand (Saône-et-Loire, France).
Français : Plaque du Mémorial pour la brigade S.A.S à Sennecey-le-Grand (Saône-et-Loire). Le texte de l'inscription est : Dans un raid extraordinaire en aout 1944, le Capitaine De Combaud Roquebrune avec 4 jeeps blindées du 3ème Régiment des Parachutistes français du Special Air Service, traverse toute la France occupée pour rejoindre ses camarades déja parachutés en Bourgogne.

Le 4 septembre un imposant convoi ennemi rassemblé à Sennecey-le-Grand doit faire mouvement. A l'aube, alors que s'élancent paras et résistants, ses jeeps foncent, s'infiltrent dans la ville, remontent la longue file des camions allemands et tirant de toutes leurs armes, infligent à l'ennemi d'énormes pertes.

Au retour, prises sous le feu des allemands qui se sont ressaisis, les 4 jeeps seront anéanties. Seize de nos camarades, leur Capitaine en tête, trouveront une mort héroïque dans ce combat inégal et fantastique.
