For anyone who wasn't able to read this a couple of years ago (little longer than I remember), this is an amazing tribute.

I read two articles based on the link provided and enjoyed the images and history surrounding that young French soldier. What a thoughtful and poignant remembrance by Lt. Rochereaux's family. I am glad the current owners of that house are honouring the original owner's wishes. A wonderfully rare glimpse into one person's life and times in colour from a war that was fought one hundred years ago.

Yes, sir. I can only imagine the sense of awe one would feel standing in the room itself.
