Nationality: French
A Brief Bio:
Jean Luc Laroche was born in 1918. Luc’s family lived in a large home in the Parisian countryside. His father and mother had an overall healthy relationship and loved their children the best they could. Jean Luc has two sisters and a brother who are all younger than himself. The children were raised in a privileged manner. They attended fine schools educated in arts, litterateur, music and poetry; taught always to learn and excel in everything they did as well as NEVER to give up on a task before it has been completed.
Luc’s father, Michel, is a former officer and veteran of the first world war. He served his country with pride and honour, a true patriot. Something else the children had been taught, “Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime, lifestyle, love and inspiration.“
At the outbreak of war in 1940 Michel Laroche returned to the army after word reached him that the Germans had invaded. The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and many French soldiers fought to hold the Enemy back. Michel was killed on 22 of June. The same day the French government, which had fled to Bordeaux asked Germany for an Armistice which went into effect on the 25th.
The entire Laroche family was devastated by the loss. Mrs Laroche had been widowed and the children left without a father. Jean Luc tried every day to get on with life and ignore what the Germans had done. As time went on and the city was covered by the dark cloud of Nazi occupation. Actions were now being taken against the innocent. People were arrested, shot. Every day rights were violated, there was a curfew and checkpoints throughout the city as well as the countryside. One was unable to travel without his papers, if caught penalties were severe, the Nazis had no tolerance for it and were quick to act.
Several months after the occupation Jean Luc had realised his people had endured enough. The Germans had proven themselves evil, therefore they had to be destroyed before they eliminated the will of the French people. The country had been conquered, but the citizens of France’s hearts were not.
Jean Luc started in the resistance as a messenger. He worked his way up by sneaking around German checkpoints through out the city and surrounding areas delivering intelligence on positions and their manpower. The Marquis would then aggressively assault the target fading away before the Germans were able to call reinforcements.
Over the next few months Luc became an active member in the fighting force. They hit convoys, attacked checkpoints, they even blew a rail bridge cutting a vital German supply line to the coast where the Jerries constantly sent supplies to build the “West Wall”. A massive costal defence system was being constructed to deter any plans of an English invasion of France.
As it stand Jean Luc is second in command of a resistance cell within the city of Paris. He has developed as a saboteur and a soldier who fights for the Croix de Lorraine. A symbol chosen by General Charles de Gaulle for the French Resistance. Luc will continue to fight the Germans until they leave or are ejected from France. He is brave, patriotic, standing ready to take the fight to the enemy.
