LAROQUE HONORÉ MORT POUR LA FRANCE LE 24 AVRIL 1917 A L'AGE DE 31 ANS .
APRIL 24, 1917 FULLY CORRESPONDED TO THE CHEMIN DES DAMES OFFENSIVE, A PARTICULARLY MURDEROUS BATTLE, IN WHICH MANY COLONIAL SOLDIERS WERE ENGAGED
UNIT 24TH COLONIAL INFANTRY REGIMENT .
IT WAS PART OF THE FRENCH COLONIAL TROOPS, OFTEN COMPOSED OF SOLDIERS FROM OVERSEAS
ENCOURAGED BY METROPOLITAN OFFICERS.
DIE IN ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT EPISODES OF THE WAR, KNOWN FOR HUGE LOSSES AND THE MUTINERIES THAT FOLLOWED.
THESE TWO MEDALS WERE WITH THE PLATE AND ARE THE SIENNES, WHICH HAD TO BE GIVEN AS POSTHUMS TO THE FAMILY. SACRED. FEAT OF ARMS FOR HAVING BEEN AWARDED THE MILITARY MEDAL AND THE CROIX DE GUERRE . IT WOULD BE NEEDED TO BE RESEARCHED.

HONOR, GLORY AND RESPECT TO THIS SOLDIER WHO, THANKS TO THIS PLAQUE, REMAINS IN OUR MEMORY.

N B : IT WOULD BE BETTER TO SEE THIS PLAQUE IN A COLLECTOR'S VITRINE, THAN IN A WASTE DISPOSAL SITE !!!!!! IT WILL COME BACK TO LIFE WITH OTHER MEMORIES OF THE GREAT WAR.

ORIGINAL PERSONAL COLLECTION OF THE PERIOD.
AS I SAY ABOVE, THIS PLATE HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED ON ITS GRAVE.
