French Great War Veteran - Pierre Recobre
- Extended Description
- Pierre Recobre was a French stretcher-bearer who fought in WWI for its entirety, from August 1914 until the very end of the war in November 1918.
He fought with the 339th Infantry Reg., volunteering for every single operation it was involved in.
His commanders had described him as being “daring to the point of temerity”, risking his life to save the lives of countless wounded, despite himself having been wounded so many times himself, the medical staff lost track.
Recobre had always put the well-being of his comrades above his own safety and beyond his 30 decorations for valor, his mustache was his most prized possession.
