Quelle connerie la guerre - part 4
Sorry a bit heavy on the pictures again.
The war dragged on and the soldiers sent pictures home. I wonder if
Louis made the chair he is sitting on. If he did it was a departure
from the fine cabinet making he would have done before the war in his
workshop.
Louis and Regina's daughter, Denise was born on 31st May 1917.
Louis
did not get much of a chance to watch his daugher grow. On 18th July
1918, a few months before the armistice he suffered the fate of many
young men, he was killed by the fire of machine guns. He died a month
short of his 28th birthday. His citation reads: Sous-officier
énergique et très brave. A été motellement blessé le 18 juillet 1918,
en
dirigeant un travail d’organisation sous un feu très violent de
mitralleuses.
A waste of talent, a young widow and an orphan.
