He was cited by General Dwight David Eisenhower at Allied headquarters as one of the thousand most deserving Resistance fighters in the French Legion. After the war, he entrusted this beautiful Rosalie to the Musée Charolais du Machinisme Agricole. It was then purchased by the current owner on April 12, 2017, who subsequently restored it.
