Guest Posted 21 April , 2018 Share Posted 21 April , 2018 Hello everyone, My great-grandfather, a Vietnamese, was a soldier for France in World War I. After his death (probably in Paris in 1916), our family received the death gratuity from the French government. Although this is all the information I have, I am hoping to find the location of his grave (if there is any) or any information about him. I summarize the information of my great-grandfather here : Surname : Nguyen (Nguyễn, in Vietnamese) Middle name : Duc (Đức, in Vietnamese) First name : Lich (Lịch, in Vietnamese) Died : Paris, 1916 I hope somebody in this forum can help me. I am also looking for cementeries in France that conmemorated soldiers from Vietnam or Indochina. Any infomation would be very appreciated. Thank you.

I knew this website and tried to search on it before but my great-granfather's name is not on the list. I also do not know his data of birth. 22 minutes ago, chaz said: cant help apart from wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Vietnam_during_World_War_I Thanks Chaz.
