LUCIEN. November 11, “the day commemorating the Armistice of 1918, has gradually become an occasion for questioning and understanding history. (French Ministry of Defence, Chemins de mémoire). Once again this year, we’ve chosen to post the song “Lucien”, a tribute to the soldier from Haute-Saône, Lucien BERSOT, who was shot as an example in 1915, with which the Alsatian group LA POUPEE DU LOUP won the 2015 France Bleu Paris National Springboard:

A few minutes of music as part of the essential memorial challenge. Tomorrow, November 11th, let us all remember those who lived through the unthinkable.

(Lyrics Valère Kaletka, music Mathieu Lavarenne)
