American Soldier Decorated by French Hero of Two Nations
A French Red Cross nurse recalls a French American war hero who combined two nationalities. A Brittany youth who came to New York, rose to wealth, volunteered in the trenches, lost a leg, endured grueling iodine baths with stoic humor, and inspired fellow patients. His mother visited smiling, and he was awarded the Medaille Militaire by a visiting French general, amid an emotionally charged bedside ceremony. He epitomized bravery and the bridging of American and French identities, underscoring demand for doctors and funds for wounded soldiers.
