Year 2006

The place highly symbolic of Le Linge with
its trenches has been used on November 23rd
2006 to a ceremony of giving fodders to the
new people drafted of the section of
Lieutenant BISEAU 27th battalion
f alpine hunters of Annecy. |
|
The event continued after at the Wettstein
military cemetery where took place a
meditation moment of self-communion in front
of the tombs of the hunters of the 27th BCA
fallen at Le Linge in 1914-1918, and
finished exceptionally speaking by putting
in earth the rests of an unknown soldier,
found recently at Barrenkopf during works. |

End of the remarks held by General(2ème S)
Pierre Alain PAULUS Chairman of the memorial
of Le Linge.
The nature under the stump of an uprooted
tree has given back the rests of an of your
elders that belonged to the important army
of the dead people.
Just like the sea that rejects the
shipwrecked men, the mountain gives this
regularly testimony at its manner and asks
us to go up the way of memory.
Now, coming with this hunter to his last
residence, when he rejoins forever his
comrades of the Grande Armee of the unknown
people, together we want to pay the last
tribute to him, and to honor at the same
time all those that will remain forever
prisoners of the bowels of the earth in the
posture where the death has mown down them,
so that they will never be buried by the
forgetting |

The Le Linge battlefield
Orbey (68370)
Following them
Le Linge is a place that we know well when,
like me we grew in the valley that this
battlefield overhangs. The trenches
overgrown by the vegetation, the skeletons
of still visible trees between the cross
indicating where we have found bodies. And
then there are these pathes that we follow
on the steps of the men that have spent here
terrible hours. How can't we be startled to
their memory when we passes along the wall
of a trench? . How can't we tremble in front
of the steps that took them to the fire? How
to go in front of the entrenchments where
some men have trembled with anguish and cold
during the long winters? .
When at school, I have been taken to these
places, I have always the sensation of
walking on their traces. I always think to
these men, no doubt a little older that me,
and the shades moving forward in front of
me. More I go further between the stones, by
the stairs, the narrow trenches, more the
History starts again in front of my eyes.
And the silhouettes seen seem to me to be
the shade of the French soldier ninety years
ago.
Having studied the history during four years
at the Faculty of Strasbourg, I have
understood and red the narrations of battle.
But the history is never as alive as in
these places to memory, when we walk on the
steps of those that have lived through.
Thanks to the work of some enthusiast
people, Le Linge lives again each spring and
permits to all to understand as much the
battle that the life of the men that they
have got. But for them, our memory of the
history would be a deficiency, because done
without any emotion that takes us all, when
we walk on their steps. |
