Tunneller Posted 21 July , 2003 Share Posted 21 July , 2003 I am currently trying to research a French casualty from 260eme Regt D`Infantrie. His name was Louis Baudin . Does anyone know if this unit fought in Salonika? I belive the 260eme were raised in the Vosges area of France, around the town of Besancon. I don`t know of many books in English that can help me with this project (although there is a superb history of the French army, "Paths of Glory" by Anthony Clayton for anyone interested .) I have some basic information from Louis` Medaille Militaire citation. He died on 1st November 1916 having been recommended for his MM on 14/15 th October 1916.If anyone could point me in the right direction or provide any information about the french in Salonika I`d be very grateful.

awakefield Posted 15 August , 2003 Share Posted 15 August , 2003 Jim You could try the following contact:- Mademoiselle Anne-Marie Tranie Secretary General Poilus D'Orients et Anciens Combattants 30 Rue Fremicourt 75015 Paris France This Association is for French veterans and descendants of the Salonika Campaign. If possible write in French as Mademoisells Tranie has very little English. However, she could probably pass a letter on to an English speaker if needs be.
