Roger Lalande

My grandpa

My hero is my grandpa. His full name is Roger Lalande. He was born in 1924 in France. Now I am going to talk about him. At the beginning of World War II, he lived on a farm.

During World War II, he was a liason officer in Dordonge. A liason officer is someone who delivers messages from a group to another group. His only weapons were a micrayet and a grenade.

On June 13,1943, some Germans shot at him, but they all missed. On another night, he had to sleep on a grave.

After World War II, he became a teacher in Algeria and he met my grandma. Later, he had to go back to France.

My grandpa is my hero because he did something big and he survived. A hero to me is someone who does something big.
