Bonjour,
Peut quelqu'un fournissez s'il vous plaît de nouveaux informations sur ces deux soldats. Je m'intéresse particulièrement à obtenir une photo de leurs noms sur leurs souvenirs de guerre de famille. Excusez s'il vous plaît mon pauvre français

Arnaud,
Merci pour une réponse si rapide
Je suis le plus reconnaissant bien que je sois a pris conscience de ce site. Se trouve présent un endroit qui énumère des noms sur les souvenirs municipaux français de guerre ?
Regards
Robert

"Bonsoir" Robert,
What do you want exactly ? What are: "les souvenirs municipaux français de guerre" ? grave-yard ? public building ?
You can write in english: it's more easy for you...
"Bien à vous" (= good to you),
Achache.

Achache,
Apologies for my poor French, I was trying to be courteous to the Forum which is in the French language, and I am very aware of the myopic English attitude to any foreign language!
I am eager to find on what town war memorials these two soldiers are commemorated, and in the case of Douillet where he is buried. That is I hope a starting point for further research.
I am very grateful for your interest,
Kind Regards,
Robert

all right, Robert...
No matter for the language... the French language is so difficult !...
I have not found the memorials; but: see on this Forum, § Pages memoire - necroples MPLF -MDH, I ask for... in french.
Good luck !
Bien à vous,
Achache.

Achache,
I hope I didn't offend you, I will try French better in future! Thank you for the reference on the Forum, very interesting. I visited where Douillet was killed in the summer, the Ferme de Beausejour near Suippes but it seems to be in a military camp so I found nothing! Did French newspapers carry photos of soldiers who had died?
KInd Regards,
Robert

Bonsoir Robert
Have you seen ??? very good answer on the § Pages memoire - necroples MPLF -MDH:
there is the name of Albert DOUILLET on a beautiful memorial in a church of Liévin !
But I am afraid that it would be very difficult to find photos...
Yes, "the Ferme de Beauséjour" is now in a military camp: impossible see it.
Bien à vous,
Achache

Achache,
Your help is much appreciated. I have looked at the pages on Lievin and they are just what I was looking for.
My interest in Douillet is because I have his 3 medals and his scroll 'Aux Morts de la Grande Guerre.'
As for Thomas I have his photo and we visit Neuilly St. Front Cemetery regularly and leave a poppy cross in his memory. I would very much like to know exactly where he is remembered; his form suggests the St Malo/Caulnes area,
Kind Regards,
Bob
