Ft Kerranreaux,

[Ray42]

Sorry if this is the wrong location to share this post but I am in the process of planning a trip to France and plan to visit several WW2 sites, however I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of Ft Kerranreaux which was a fort that G Company, 175th of the 29th Division captured on 13th september durring the Brest campaign. I recently recieved a portion of my great uncles stuff including KIA purple heart, V-mail, and letter from the Assistant Adjutant that explains how he was killed trying to out flank a sniper which had pinned him and two of his friends down in a shell crater. I thought it would be intresting to visit the fort on the trip if it still existed but can find no information on the fight to take it or where it might be online. If anyone has heard of the fort I would greatly appreaciate any info you could share.

 

Thank you
