Burial

It is stated that his body was reinterred at the SAS War Memorial in Sennecey-le-Grand. But according to the Ordre de la Libération^[1] (and others) his body was moved in 1955 to the family grave in Batignolles Cemetery, in division 24. I have changed this in the article.

Catholic

Despite of being of jewish origins, Zirnjheld was catholic - you have the references of it in the French article about him.

Metropolitan Army in France

This expression needs explaining as I do not believe that many in th English speaking world know what this is. JHvW 00:41, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, the colonies in Northern Africa, were considered part of Metropolitan France. The army in France is known as the Land Army (as opposed to the Air Army), but I believe the army in Northern Africa was known as the Army of Africa. It might be that the Metropolitan Army is a French expression for the latter. In which case it would probably be better to state that in the article. JHvW 19:01, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
