Stone s Place
One of the several activities of
the International Relations Group
of the Tarleton Campus Club is
to contact individuals in foreign
countries for the 'purpose of help-
ing to spread good will. The fol-
lowing letter is one received from
a family in France, The Chifol-
leau family would lik§ to contact
the sergeant to whorri ,£he letter
refers. The Regiment's code name,
with which Jacques jChifolleau
fought and died, was White Mus-
tang, under General Patton and
composed entirely of T.exans, hence
the tender feeling his family holds
for Texas and Texans. The letter
follows: 1
Le Mans, Jan 21, 194?
Dear Mademoiselle:
At the very momenf that we
were replying to your very kind
Christmas greeting we received
your letter of December 11, in
which you gave us interesting de-
tails. My wife and I thank you
for the pretty ' handkerchief,
which made our little thirteen-year
old daughter very happy. She her-
self is writing to you on a post-
card from the city. We regret that
we cannot write to you in English.
Our little girl has some knowledge
of it. Our son knew English very
well and was rapidly learning the
American accent. He was twenty
years old when he left at the
time of the liberation of Le Mans
as an interpreter-guide with the
121st Reconnaissance Squadron of
General Patton's Army. He was
equipped like an American soldier
and was happy to be ^vith these
valliant men. He had great esteem
for Sgt. Bellini, whose father had
a ranch in Texas. Commandant
Chatel is looking for him td send
him some photographs taken at
the time of the liberation in the
vicinity of Sar#ia near Paris.
These pictures were ,• taken in a
jeep;
Our dear son died October 2,
1944, in Lorraine on a reconnais-
sance group with the Americans
and two other Frenchmen. He was
brave and courageous, a good boy,
serious, and he had qualified as
an instructor in an apprentices'
school for the railroad. He wanted
to liberate France and help our
Allies. Alas, his death is very cruel
to us, our life is very sad, we who
have seen two wars. Our son was
buried in the America^ Cemetery
&t Andilly. Four thousand Amer-
icans lie tjiere. How sad to see
all those little crosses! Still we
have the satisfaction of going to
our child's grave, a privilege of
which American parents are de-'
prived. We have always a thought
for them, and we always put flow-
ers on their graves.
My' wife and I are ' trying to
overcome our grief in order not
to make' life too sad for our little
girl. We have another daughter
twenty-seven years old who has
three little boys, seven, three and
one. She and her family are ,a
great pleasure to us.
Our town did not suffer too
much from the bombings except
our railroad station. - There were

girl was greatly frightened, but
in the shelter she was reassured.
Pardon us for having; delayed
our answer, dear Mademoiselle,
We do thank you for the interest
you and your Club aile showing in
us.
Please accept with our thanks
our best and sincerest.good wishes.

I wish to include, dear Made-
moiselle, two photographs of s my
dear child, knowing tbat they will
give you pleasure. They"-will bq for
you a souvenir of a brave little
soldier of France who died with
your dear American soldiers who
came from so far away to help us
liberate our country.
Dear Mademoiselle, thanks from
my heart for the very pretty hand-
kerchief and the charming Christ-
mas cards and also for your good
wishes you send us.; Accept our
best wishes for 1947 for all your
family, both great and small.
I assure you . of my sincere
friendship and all my gratitude.
May the American mothers,
wives, swetheart, brothers and sis-
ters know how much we think
about their dear dead ones ,each
time we go to the great cemetery
at Andilly, where so many Ameri-
cans lie so far from home. On each
of our visits we have placed flow-
ers at the foot of the flag for all.
Your friend from France,
A. Chifolleau.
