ALICE IMBERT GATEUILLE was born on 20 January 1903 in Montluçon (03). On 28 November 1938, she married Félix IMBERT in Vichy (03).
Living in Aigueperse (63), she was a liaison officer under the orders of Commander MONTPENSIER of the Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur. Under the pseudonym Taty, she relayed messages between the various maquis leaders and the Resistance, before being transferred to the Fort de Romainville.
This military fort was located in the commune of Les Lilas in Seine-Saint-Denis, north-east of Paris. It initially housed prisoners of war and hostages, some of whom were shot at Mont-Valérien. From 1943 onwards, it became the antechamber for deportation, before being used as a women's prison in 1944.
On 21 July 1944 she was deported from Paris Gare de l'Est to the Neue Bremm transit camp in Saarbrücken in convoy no. I.249. This was a small convoy of 54 women taken from the Fort de Romainville, "deported in specially equipped passenger carriages attached to the mainline train leaving Paris for Germany", according to the memorial book of the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Déportation.
She stayed in Saarbrücken for around three weeks before being transferred to Ravensbrück, where on 14 August she was given a registration number in the "51000" series.
Of the 54 women in the convoy, at least 30 were assigned to the Belzig Kommando, where she was liberated by American troops on 5 May 1945 and returned home on 9 May.
Her husband Félix Pierre IMBERT, born on 16 March 1902 in Aigueperse (63), was deported on 18 July 1944 from Compiègne to Neuengamme, Fallersleben and Bremen-Osterort. He died on 10 March 1945 at Neuengamme, according to JO No. 171 of 25 July 1992.
According to the Service Historique de la Défense (Dossier GR 16 P 245660), she was approved as a Resistance member of the R.I.F. (Résistance Intérieure Française) and the D.I.R. (Déportés et Internés de la Résistance).
She was awarded the C.V.R. (Combattant Volontaire de la Résistance) card, no. 055505, on 20 November 1952.
The Resistance deportee card, no. 2.011.03711, was awarded to her by decision of the Ministry of Veterans and Victims of War on 18 April 1951.
She was arrested in Aigueperse on 8 May 1944 on "denunciation as making anti-German propaganda" according to her membership of the association "Ceux de la Mal-Coiffée" on 2 October 1946.
