  1. Hello,
    I saw the name Bojanitz on your website and wonder if the person concerned was my father’s brother who was lost in Morrocco serving in the French Foreign Legion. He was older than my father who was born in 1917.

    If not perhaps it may refer to a relative?

    Best wishes
    Maria Bojanitz
