Lt. Hubert Rochereau, KIA, his room kept as it was

[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello readers.

Unable through lack of know-how to provide a ready link I nevertheless would like to draw your attention to an article which recently appeared at least in the Der Spiegel and the Washington Post about Lt. Hubert Rochereau who lost his life for France in 1918. His parents kept his room as it was as did his family. The house is to be or was sold with an obligation to keep his room as is in perpetuity.

A Google however will bring a lot of links.
