Sad to hear of the passing of Gérard Grégoire from La Gleize, one of the leading lights in the saving of Tiger 213 and the museum at La Gleize. My condolences to the family.

I met Gérard Grégoire quite a few times with my friend Marcel at the Museum , he was a very interesting man and wrote an excellent book about the Battle of La Gleize , indeed sad to hear of his passing .

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
