*Sgt. Dominski bailed out. Unable to evade back to England, he joined the French underground. In March 1944 he was with a small group engaged in combat with the Germans at St. Cloud de Charente. Both he and a close friend received nonfatal wounds in the battle; however, their bodies were discovered with bullets in their heads, indicating that the Germans had executed the wounded. Their bodies were taken to Poitiers and buried.
