ARMY,  WAR IN 1914

 

Please excuse us for the bad quality of this automatic translation which is being corrected for better comprehension

 

Although released from its military obligations, the declaration of war of August 3, 1914 sees it to begin as of the following day with the 422nd IH for the duration of the conflict (military record). It is clear that the behavior of his father (born in German Lorraine) who chose France in 1871 and that of his elder brother, captain with St influential Cyr on its decision. Patriotism is very high, even violent one at the Lorraine ones and more particularly at those, which, alive in annexed zone, are condemned to the interior exile.

Its recent divorce, the absence of his/her son, the fact of knowing his/her parents in significant zone, as many reasons which are added to the duty and patriotism to justify its engagement. Escape of the betrayed and disappointed man or patriotic engagement? We cannot answer this question. We miss personal information. Its military record and its states of services are much more speaking, see rather:

He takes on August 9, 1914 (on July 31 on another document) at the following day (or the day before) of the declaration of war of August 3 for the duration of the conflict like soldier of 22nd class to the 422nd terrestrial regiment of infantry. Its scientific and medical qualities quickly involve its transfer towards units more in connection with its competences.

It is promptly transferred to the hospital of the Valley of Grace. With the patriotism exacerbated of Lorraine, it puts its science at the service of its country. It is in charge of the antityphoïdic preparation of the vaccines to the service of the army. It vaccinates on all fronts and we follow our hero on the traces of "hairy" of the 422nd RTI to the 42nd army, of the 112nd army corps to the 22nd army. It contracts a serious infection of experimental origin which is worth to him the Medal of Vermeil of the Epidemics the 1/12/1915.

Lbe eminent rendered services are worth to him to be made chevalier of the Legion of Honour, in Verdun, in 1916. Promoted medical officer, it deals with the laboratories of Toxicology, Bactériologie and Chemistry of the 22nd army. After a quotation on September 15, 1917, it directs the laboratory of toxicology to the armies. It is the "dirty war" in Europe and especially in France. The gases and the bacteria form part of the armaments. The doctors and chemists are very exposed. A handwritten letter of 1936 gives us an idea of the reports/ratios which it maintained with its men

It is named section head of chemistry "at the disposal of the minister ", undoubtedly a particular mission. In 1918, it reinstates the Valley of Grace and is occupied of practical work of chemistry. The end of the war involves its release on February 26, 1919 and its return towards the civil life.

It remains in liaison with the army; placed except frameworks in 1920, it asks its rehabilitation and obtains it in 1924 with retroactivity. Maintained within the frameworks of reserves on its request, it carries out one period in 1929. It is striped executives in 1931 with the honorary title of commander.
