Before leaving Paris, Craddock discussed with Dessin the question of the

woman named Martine. Dessin was inclined to agree with his English col-

league that the matter had probably no connection with the woman found

in the sarcophagus. All the same, he agreed, the matter ought to be invest-

igated.

He assured Craddock that the Sûreté would do their best to discover if

there actually was any record of a marriage between Lieutenant¹ Edmund

Crackenthorpe of the 4th Southshire Regiment² and a French girl whose

Christian³ name was Martine. Time—just prior to the fall of Dunkirk.

He warned Craddock, however, that a definite answer was doubtful. The

area in question had not only been occupied by the Germans at almost ex-

actly that time, but subsequently that part of France had suffered severe

war damage at the time of the invasion. Many buildings and records had

been destroyed.

“But rest assured, my dear colleague, we shall do our best.”

With this, he and Craddock took leave of each other.
