French ladies back in Lanark after 70 years
TWO French ladies said ‘Allo ‘Allo to Lanark again this week – having spent the majority of WWII here as evacuees.
Jacqueline Vicart and Marie-Paule Cantard (nee Sergeant) spent the war years at the Smyllum orphanage having left Boulogne aboard HMS Venomous.
It has been almost 70 years since the pair have been to Lanark but on a damp and dreich morning they made their way there from their hotel in Edinburgh.
