The machine was claimed (it seems so) near Le Puy, so I assumed it would be the town near Saint-Etienne (Central France).
Do you, by chance do have any information about Hornsby's claim?

If the 111th TRS was involved then I agree that it's very likely to be Le Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire).
I don't have anything about a claim by Hornsby. Is it certain he was with the 111th TRS?
