Trench Talk: Jules the Poilu - in conversation with Alexandre Lyons
The discovery of a huge collection of letters, postcards and writings of his great-great-grandfather has taken Alex on a fascinating journey through the wartime experiences of his ancestor, Jules Destrigniville.
A Parisian police officer by trade, Jules was conscripted into the 315th Infantry Regiment in October 1915 and promised to write home every day. The letters provide a fascinating insight into the life of a French infantry soldier who went through the hell of Verdun, was wounded and gassed, but ultimately survived the Great War.
