Decorations given to veterans

A ceremony organized at the town hall of Vierville was marked by the presentation of the combatant's cross to Messrs. Papillon, Ygouf and Demours. The decorations were given to them by Mr. Jouet, Vice-President of the General Council.

Mr. Demours also received a distinction of military value, awarded by Mr. Françoise, president of the veterans' association. The mayor, Mr. Oxéant, and residents attended the demonstration.

The ceremony was followed by a religious service, a wreath deposit and then a banquet bringing together the participants.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The fragment does not specify the date of the ceremony. The designation "military value" is retained without specifying a rank or decoration title absent from the text.
