Lieut. Anthony Moorhouse of the West Yorkshire Regiment, dragged away from his Land Rover, was kept tied up in the tenement for three days, then left in a steel locker to suffocate to death while Anglo-French search parties were combing the neighborhood. As a museum honoring the "heroes" who had kidnaped him, it would display Moorhouse...
