Recherche sergent 6eme bccp

Bonjour,

Je suis le petit fils d'un ancien para, que je n'ai malheureusement jamais connu. En quête de mémoire, je recherche à retracer son parcour militaire, notamment durant la campagne d'extreme.orient.
Mon grand père s'appellait Emile Delatour, brevet de para 28 573 (obtenu entre le 21 janv et le 11 fev 1949) , il est né le 26 avril 1924 et faisait partie du 6eme BCCP.
Tous les renseignements que vous aurez m'interesse !
Bonne journée

Bonjour Thibaud

Ton grand père Emile Delatour était au Groupement de Commandos n°3 du 6e BCCP, commandé par le capitaine Le BOT.
Pour moi il est annoté parachutiste mais il a pu obtenir ses galons pendant son séjour !
Dans le recueil sur le 6e BCCP tu trouveras toutes les opérations auxquelles il a participé et bcp de photos...
Cordialement
Patrick
