It is safe to say that all of Marseille's society was present, with signatures from the Ballazzi, Canaple, Roux, Azuelos, Pianello, Gilbert des Voisins, Métaxas, Mavrogardato, Nicolaidès, Séchiari, Tommasi, Fraissinet, Alphandery families, etc., among others.followed by 50 pages of miscellaneous articles on the painter Ziem, Gambetta, Normandy, the events of May 16, 1877, etc, The second volume is devoted to the First World War, with the "éphémérides, récits de guerre" (battle of Issoncourt in September 1914): over 100 handwritten pages and 150 p of cut-out articles; of note, preserved in envelopes, are letters from his godson, a soldier in the 165th infantry, awarded the Croix de Guerre with citations, and a letter from a soldier wounded at Verdun with a leg amputated.
