After writing it was learned that "When the German troops passed through Armentières (Nord),
little Antoine, his brother Michel and his sister Georgette were living with their aunt,
who soon after left her village to go with her children and nephews to Erquinghem.
In November 1914, the refugees were obliged to leave this town and the aunt confided
the three children to the care of a friend with whom they remained for 23 months.
Last June as Erquinghem was bombarded the children were sent to the hospital of Hazebrouck
