Fiche avec photos S/Sgt Hager sur www.evasioncomete.be (Lien transmis par Claude Dannau) Fiche avec photos S/Sgt Crowe sur www.evasioncomete.org (Lien transmis par Claude Dannau) Extrait du site www.conscript-heroes.com : " In his MI9 report, Slack also mentions two American evaders being helped by the Balfe family. They were S/Sgt William F Crowe (#83) and S/Sgt Joseph M Hager (#84) whose B-26 was shot down on a raid to Poix aerodrome on 31 July 1943. Both men baled out near Hornoy, were helped soon after landing and brought to Joe that same day. Hager had injured his leg and needed medical attention so Joe arranged for them to be sheltered on a nearby farm. Joe also arranged for a doctor to attend the wounded airman and visited them himself every day. On 5 April, Joe took them to stay with Jean Lemattre in Amiens. On 7 August, Joe Jnr took the two evaders to Hamelet near Corbie where they were passed on to Renée Boulanger (Nenette) and the Comete organisation. Note that Corbie is on the Somme in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, where the river was the line between militarised northern France (and Belgium) and Occupied France. Hamelet is just across the river in what was Occupied France. Crowe (#83) and Hager (#84) were taken across the Pyrenees to Spain the night of 13/14 Aug 43.
