A farewell to France's war broadcaster - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32237764 Jean-Louis Cremieux-Brilhac, who played a key role in General de Gaulle's entourage in wartime London, has died in Paris at the age of 98. Cremieux-Brilhac spent three years at the headquarters of de Gaulle's Free French in Hill Street, Mayfair, where he was secretary of the propaganda committee. It was in this function that he personally drew up the instructions to be read out over the BBC, telling the French public how to react on D-Day.
