Monsieur Vincent Chalandre
Vincent was a retired silk-weaver who lived in Iron. We have no record of his birth date. The fact that he was retired means that he was probably old. Like many old people in France at this time, he still worked; in his case he was a casual farm labourer. It was he who found the first group on nine soldiers on October 15 1914, and he who arranged for the Logez family to look after them. He lived in a large house in the centre of the village, opposite the silk factory where he later sheltered some of the soldiers.
He was married and had five children: Germaine, Marthe, Marcel, Leon and Clovis. The tragedy at Iron, directly or indirectly, killed all members of the Chalandre family with the single exception of Germaine.
