Mardi 25
Mes Chers Parents
Nous etions jusqu'ici dans un petit
patelin des Charentes près Saintes , où il n y avait
pas de poste, d'où le manque de nouvelles. Mais
hier nous nous sommes rendus aux Allemands
etant sans moyens defensifs. On ne s'est meme pas
battu. Ils ont etè assez chies avec nous . Ils nous ont
conduits ds une caserne à Saintes où ils ne
penetrent pas et où nous obeissons toujours à mes
officiers qui ont etè épatants. Nous allons repartir
pour une autre caserne, celle-ci etant pleine. Bref
nous avons etè fait comme des rats Ils sont venus
en motos et en voitures . Rien que des motorisès.
Je n'ai presque plus d'argent mais on parle de
demobilisation prochaine . last but not least . Dit pours
de caserne et deja prisonnier a part ce fait notre
vie ici est normale. Irez vous voir Oncle Henri?
Bons baisers R. Et Jacques?

My Dear Parents
We were until now in a little
village of Charentes near Saintes , where there wasn’t
a post office, from which news was missing. But
yesterday we surrendered ourselves to the Germans
without having defensive means. We had neither
fought. They had been shitty enough with us . They drove
us in a barracks at Saintes where they didn’t
penetrate and where we still obey my
officers who had been great. We’re going to leave
again for another barracks, this one being full. In any case
we had been made like rats They came
in motorcycles and in cars . Nothing but motorized vehicles.
I have almost no more money but demobilization next
is being talked about . last but not least . Save for
about the barracks and already prisoner besides this fact our
life here is normal. Will you go see Uncle Henri?
Good Kisses R. And Jacques?
