- Louis Marie Pellé – 1900-1944, born on November 18, 1900, in Ploumoguer, young tradesman and receiver of the PTT who has been shot by the Nazis at the age of 43. He had helped to hide fellow Jews in the countryside of northern Finistère, with the unofficial assistance of the gendarmes of Le Conquet.
