Free French Forces. The Free French Forces (French: Forces franÃ§aises libres) were individuals or military units who joined Free France (la France libre), the resistance organisation founded by Charles de Gaulle in 1940 in London to continue the struggle against the Axis powers.
The Cross of Lorraine, the symbol of French patriot Joan of Arc, was adopted as the symbol of the Free French. On Sept. 24, 1941, Free France formally created the French National Committee, an organization that became the basis of de Gaulleâs provisional government when the Allies returned to France in 1944.
