James, Marcel and Dolly in the Second World War

            Falstaff: Counterfeit? I lie, I am no counterfeit: to die is to be counterfeit, for he is but the counterfeit of a man, who hath not the life of a man: but to counterfeit dying, when a man liveth, is to be no counterfeit, but the true and perfect image of life indeed.

(Henry IV. Part 1, Act V / Sc. IV. .Shakespeare)

'During these shattering days when La Baule was filling up...with refugees, Joyce renewed his friendship with Dr Daniel O'Brien....One night, they went together to a large restaurant with dancing at La Baule. It was close to where the French and British soldiers were encamped and two or three hundred of them having crowded into the place, they began to sing the 'Marseillaise'. Joyce joined in the singing, and gradually his voice caught the soldiers' attention. They turned and stared at him, and then a group hoisted him onto a table so he might sing it all over again. As O'Brien later recalled, 'You never saw such an exhibition of one man dominating and thrilling a whole audience. He stood there and sang the 'Marseillaise' and they sang it again afterwards with him, and if a whole German regiment had attacked at that moment, they would never have got through. That was the feeling. Oh Joyce and his voice dominated them all!''
