Aide aux évasions: Mme Luna de San Pedro, René Pierrot, Colette Orsini, Madeleine Melot, Mme Vandervoord, Marie-Yvonne Dobray, Mr Letemplier, Susane Bosnière, Albert Rault (Voir les rapports, principalement le E&E 180) Extrait du site www.conscript-heroes.com : " 2/Lt Sidney Casden (#355) was the bombardier of B-17 42-30058 which crashed near Etampes on 26 June 1943. Casden spent four months sheltered by August Brila at 99 rue Marechal Joffre, Le Perreux-sur-Marne before being moved to stay with the Courtet family at 6 rue Nouvelle Monceau. It was not until about 28 November that he seems to have been taken on by the Francois network when Marie Therese Labadie and Miss McCarthy took him to the Gare d'Austerlitz and handed him over to Cecile Maynial at 75 rue du Moulin Vert. Next day Maurice Bidaud took him to his garage in Juvisy-sur-Orge. Casden slept in a hotel next door (with Edmond, an escaped POW) for three nights during which time Mme Bidaud went into Paris and returned to tell Casden that the organisation (sic) had been caught and that Marie Christine had been arrested. Maurice Bidaud sent him to stay with wine merchant André Lefevre (also in Juvisy) where three other American airmen - Otto Bruzewski (#320) William Howell (#328) and Norman Schroeder (#329) - were just leaving for the Pyrenees with the Bourgogne escape line. Meanwhile, Marie Therese moved Casden to her home at Luzarches, collecting Andrew Hathaway (#346) on the way, where the two airmen stayed for the next three weeks. On 10 January, a striking blonde woman called Nell took Casden and Hathaway to stay with Marguerite Schmitz at 87 rue Rochechouart where they met Walter Dickerman (#354) F/O Norman W Maybee RCAF, S/Sgt Paul R Saunders and the suspicious Norwegian. On 17 January, they were visited by Madeleine Dupre (who had worked with John Carter) and others. They also were visited by Marie-Rose Zerling (Claudette) and on 18 January, she took them to be interrogated by Captain Hamilton (Dumais) before going on to the station where they were joined by a girl, a young man and an elderly man and took a late train for St Brieuc – where Maybee and Saunders were arrested by a French gendarme working with the Germans. They arrived at Plouha in the afternoon of 19 January. Marie Christine was Mme Lucienne Christiane Bodin - arrested with Suzanne Bosniere and Marie Betbeder-Matibet on 21 November 1943.
