And that is how, almost spontaneously this
organization was formed-in obscure alleys
and courtyards, in the dark passages behind

you, Monsieur, that our first meeting was a

I'VE quickly decided on what we had to

A FTER attentively listening to "the Chiefs"
~ story Antoine Saltier said that he, too
wanted to enlist in this struggle against the
Army of Occupation.
He was taken to the Darkroom of little

the Notre Dame quarter and there he was
given his choice of disguise-and of a Grip

ton in the art of hiding his sound leg inside
a wooden leg. He was taught how to make
up his face. appropriately.
He was soon entrusted with important mis-

cial reverses, an unhappy love
affair, and a natural tendency
to crave a life of absolute in
dependence-all this resulted
in making me. as you see, a
mere tramp. But before this
war I lived a free and careless
existence. No regular work
and no roof over my head.
Some nights ! would sleep in
a public shelter; sometimes
under a bridge. I'd work,
sometimes, in the Halles, I'M

times I'd hang about the the

carriages and cars. I'd deliver
newspapers to the trains. In
the course of this existence,
I got to know many other

duty to help these secret agents in every pos
sible way-to hide them, to bring them food,
to guide them from one place to another.
Then he was assigned the task of blowing up
munition dumps. On another occasion, he was
called upon to perform the delicate operation
of hanging General de Gaulle's picture onto

Then. one day he was honored by being

could easily have avoided doing mill

sieur. not only did we all respond to
the call to arms, but many of us even

find it too easy to become adapted to

why so many of us volunteered to serve
in those special groups that were being
formed in every unit-group trained for
especially dangerous work, such as raid
ing expeditions to cut the enemy barbed-
wire and to blow up land-mines.
Il can assure you that these former
tramps and oums fought fiercely and
courageously, and that their rage knew
no bounds when they saw how treachery
and defeatism were leading to inevitable
