DESCRIPTION:
This letter was written over 100 years ago by French soldier René Pigeard, a young man trapped in the horrors of Verdun. Unlike censored wartime messages, this is a raw, personal account of survival, exhaustion, and fleeting hope. Pigeard describes moments of silence, filthy water, shattered landscapes, and the haunting contrast between death and life. Read aloud and brought to life with animation, this is one of the most honest and human glimpses into World War I ever recorded.
