Francis de Marneffe is now retired and living in New Hampshire, but in 1940 he was a 16 year old in Belgium when the Nazis invaded. He became separated from his family and, left to his own devices, he made his way through France to the relative safety of Britain. He didn't see his family again until 1945. Francis recalls his war time experiences in a new memoir called "The Last Boat from Bordeaux" (Coolidge Hill Press).
