The WWI Soldier’s Room That Hasn’t Changed in Almost 100 Years

French Dragoons officer Hubert Rochereau died in an English field ambulance during WWI almost 100 years ago and in tribute to their lost son, his parents left his room untouched ever since.

Even today, with the soldier dead since April 26, 1918, even with his parents long under the sod, even with new owners, the soldier’s room in his old home in Bélâbre, France, has remained exactly as the Second Lieutenant left it when he went off to war.
