Het Grote Gebod – L.O.

      Franciscus Gerardus Michels was a miller. He helped people to hide and after the liberation of Merselo on October 16, 1944, he worked as a courier for the Second British Army. This meant that he had to collect important information for the British Army in the enemy territory. After such a tour, he was found dead on December 6 on the outskirts of Leunen (village 2 km south of Venray). He probably fled from Germans and was hit in the back by enemy bullets, probably as early as November 5, 1944. Buried in Merselo, memorial on the Weideweg, where he was found. His name is also on the war memorial of Venray, Kerkpad 1, 5801 BK Venray, and in Het grote gebod, (The Great Commandment) p. 327).
