We left
Washington, DC. The vehicles were shipped on trucks to be carried to
Brewton, Alabama. However, some of us preferred to drive and undertook
a trek of more than one thousand miles from W, D.C. to Brewton. They
arrived there just in time for the official commemoration. Most of us
took the bus. It was a really pleasant travel that enabled us to visit
Atlanta with C.N.N. and Coca-Cola. We were welcomed at the Belgian
Consulate General. For a few hours, we felt that we were back in
Belgium… |

"Where is the 7th Company". That is the title of a
funny French film telling the story of a French Company in the first
days of WWII. During our travel in the air conditioned coach on our way
from Washington, D.C. to Brewton, while our WWII vehicles were carried
by truck, we had always hoped to meet our friends who had decided to
drive their vintage cars from Washington, D.C. to Brewton, a trek of
1,000 miles. They arrived in Brewton just in time for the official
commemoration…Here are some pictures of their "great trek".
Those of the 7th Company, named after the French film, didn't go to
Mobile and Pensacola. They enjoyed a well deserved rest in Brewton. |
