Makes me think of my great grandfather and of his brother.

What a sight. Amazing that it has actually gone untouched.
Hello all!
Here is an other article (in french) with pictures from different angles. An additional info, the soldier Hubert Hochereau was born in this very room, on the bed that is still in place. He died on the 26 of april 1918 on the Belgian front near the village of Loker. Sadly (i think) the actual owner of the house do not want to conduct any restoration work on the items since he believes that "it will lessen the sentimental value of the items". What is more important in this case the sentimental or the historical value? I must admit that I am not sure.
Cheers
