France, World War I. An exceptional handwritten war account by Dr. HEBERT, a military physician from July 29, 1914, to November 11, 1918. Six bound volumes in French format, 22 x 16 cm (in-8), in full red morocco leather with gilt fillets and numbered in small metal letters, in their marbled paper slipcase with the title “SOUVENIRS DE GUERRE 1914-1918” gilt in small metal letters on the spine. A total of 1,096 pages handwritten in pen. The war account recounts the history of the Château de la Briche, 37340 Hommes, in Indre-et-Loire, which served as a military hospital during World War I. As early as 1914, the château housed an auxiliary hospital managed by the Société de Secours aux Blessés Militaires (SSBM). This volunteer-run facility, with 25 beds, began operating on September 3, 1914, to care for the war wounded. The second half of the sixth volume lists the people mentioned and described in the six volumes, along with the corresponding page numbers. (Signs of wear and age, exceptional narrative and luster; in good condition).
