Hello,

One of the gunners was a member of my family (my grandfather's brother)
In the family the story goes that he survived a long time and died just the day before the rescue. I have found stories with names, others talking about how many people died every day and how, but never with his name.I don't know in which cannoo he was, but I suspect it's in Hubert's
His name was Frans (or François in French) Van de Casteele. He was only 17 years old. Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot

Valentine
