Edward Renn
Born on 5 April 1924 in Lyon (France). Edward's parents came to France on a contract in the early 1920s. He attended the Parc high school in Lyon. In 1941, joining the scouts brought him into contact with leaders of the Polish POWN Monika resistance network and he became a liaison agent. In 1942, he joined the high school in Villard-de-Lans. After witnessing the fighting at Vassieux, Édouard joined the Resistance and then the Polish Army in England, and entered the Cadet Officer Training Unit. He was made a lieutenant. Demobilised in June 1947, he returned to France and pursued a career in industry. His knowledge of Polish enabled him to work with Poland for ten years. Having married, Édouard settled permanently in Meyzieu, in the Lyon region, where he was active in cultural and veterans' associations. Edward died in 2017.
