By PHIL DAVISON | Special To The Washington Post | Published: April 20, 2021 Hubert Faure, who died April 17 at 106, was one of the last two survivors of a 177-man French commando unit that landed alongside British forces under withering German machine-gun, mortar and shellfire on Sword Beach, Normandy, on June 6, 1944. With the rank of chief warrant officer, Faure was part of the 1st Battalion Marine Commando Fusiliers known as Kieffer commandos after its leader, Lt. Philippe Kieffer. It was the only French unit to take part in the D-Day landings, although the domestic French resistance had been harassing the Germans with guerrilla tactics throughout the war.
