Raymond 'Cheval' Lallemant - 609 Sqn
Is there a specific reason why his name is spelled "Lallemand" in the British archives, even in his own combat reports?
Thanks. Chris

Re: Raymond 'Cheval' Lallemant - 609 Sqn
Hello Chris
Interesting this one - I have a personally signed copy of "Rendez-vous d'un jour 6 Juin 44" and "Rendez-vous avec le destin" both from the hand of the author, Colonel R Lallemand himself, and of course they are in French, so he was obviously happy for Lallemand to be used in French language publications, as well as British combat reports!?

Re: Raymond 'Cheval' Lallemant - 609 Sqn
Back in the late 80s I asked Col Lallemand/t "why the name change ?" He explained it was to avoid the similarity with 'the German' in French. I don't know when the change took place and in which circumstances it was applied.
