FRAD043-003 cousins Bernard et Pagnac
6 Items
Les deux arrières-grands-mères du témoins étaient soeurs, famille Chambon de Vals. Leurs enfants Henri Bernard, de Vals-près-Le Puy 35 rue des Ecoles, et Pierre Pagnac, de Vals 2 rue des Jardiniers, cousins germains, tous deux au front, s'écrivaient pendant la guerre. Tous deux étaient mariés, Henri Bernard jeune marié, s'étant marié à 36 ans juste avant la guerre. Pierre Pagnac apprend avant son cousin que celui-ci est père, et le lui annonce dans une lettre conservée. Le bébé fils de Henri Bernard épousa longtemps après sa cousine, fille de Pierre Pagnac, le témoin est leur fils. Les carrières militaires ne sont connues que très incomplètement. Pierre Pagnac part en août 1914, un peu auparavant, entendant les cloches sonner, moissonnant à la faucille, un vieux montant l'après midi lui avait dit auje Pierre, la guerra es désclarada ; lors de son départ l'eau du Dolézon montait,on pouvait que quai la toucher avec la main ab mei mos, ab mas mas. Territorial et plus âgé, 30 ans, Henri Bernard reste longtemps à l'arrière, au 10e Régiment territorial d'artillerie à pied 12e batterie en décembre 1914 et en janvier 1915, au fort Montconin à Irigny, Rhône. En septembre-octobre 1915 à La Tronche. Puis il monte à Verdun. Henri et sa femme Louise, et leurs proches échangent des nouvelles du front et du pays. En novembre 1915, une épouse annonce à distance à son mari qu'on lui a volé des pommes de terres qu'elle avait récoltées ; son mari lui répondit ils ne sont pas tous à la guerre ; lui se plaint du froid et de la boue, de coucher sur la paille, des poux. (Tradition orale), faisant des terrassements à la pelle, tendant la pelle à son camarade, le camarade au même moment est tué d'une balle et le manche de pelle cassé, en occitan ou patois local, aguere mas lo manche je n'avais plus que le manche. Un beau-frère, Gravier, d'Ours près Le Puy, revient amputé des orteils. Comme tant d'autres amputés, il disait, en occitan ou patois local, Sente meis arpious que bougen, je sens mes pieds qui bougent. La pochette conservée n'a pas été transmise, mais retrouvée par hasard dans une grange. Le grand-père Henri avait sa carte d'ancien combattant et fut pensionné ; il mourut en 1948. En arrachant ensemble les pommes de terre à la maison, le grand-père maternel Pierre Pagnac parlait un peu de la guerre à son petit-fils. Peu. Un autre habitant de Vals, voisin, montrait ses blessures ; sans clavicule, après quelques mois d'hôpital il était remonté au front. La blessure ne l'empêchait pas de travailler ses pommes de terres. || Pochette de toile de bâche cirée, 12 x 18 cm vertical, remplie de documents relatifs à l'année 1915.

Courrier signé J.JOFFRE attribuant la Médaille Militaire avec palme à mon oncle || Après les rudes combats qui se sont déroulés le 4 octobre 1914 dans la région d'Albert (Somme),mon oncle très grièvement blessé a failli être laissé sur le champ de bataille. L'infirmier découragé par tous ces blessés qu'il ramassait et qui mourraient quelques instant plus tard,et qu'il n'arrivait à sauver, n'a, dans un premier temps, pas voulu ramasser mon oncle étant donné son état désespéré, mais il s'est repris et a fait transférer mon oncle à l'hôpital d'Albert. Mon oncle s'est remis peu à peu de sa grave blessure:une balle entrée sous la clavicule et ressortie à quelques millimètres de la colonne vertébrale lui a perforé le poumon et a cassé quelques côtes, lui faisant perdre l'usage de son bras droit. Il n'a pas été amputé du bras mais l'a porté en écharpe tout le restant de sa vie ne pouvant s'en servir. La famille n'a jamais su le nom de cet infirmier mais lui a été toujours très reconnaissante, de son revirement après son petit mouvement de découragement bien compréhensible.
