The Transmissions belong to the Genius. Before September 2, 1939 (entered in war of France against Germany) they are with the 18th regiment of the Genius

On September 2, 1939 the 18th Regiment of the Genius is dissolved and its units telegraphists and radios, been dependent on the fortification, are transformed into companies integrated into the Battalions of the Genius of Fortress.

Lieutenant Raymond Claisse

Biography of Lieutenant Raymond Claisse

Raymond Claisse (13/01/1905 - 21/09/1988) was born in the department from the Meuse where his/her father was gendarme with horse.

After having made to its studies with the college of Bar the Duke it obtains the title of engineer of Public works of the State.

Then it makes its military service as second lieutenant in Mainz, in Germany, with the 42eRG (one is right after the Great War and certain German cities are occupied by the French Army).

Raymond Claisse during his military service

Then it directs the research department of the services of Navigation in Verdun. Then it is in charge of the subdivision of Châtillon on the Seine (Gold Coast).

After having carried out one military period on the Maginot Line, in 1939 it is mobilized with the 18eRG and affected with the 202T, lately made up, where it orders the fast section of unfolding.

On order of its Staff, on June 20, 1940 it deposits the weapons and is made prisoner.

In the convoy of prisoners of war which lead it camp of Sarrebourg to Oflag IIIC where it is interned, it becomes acquainted with the cartoonist Georges Raynault with whom it binds friendship. After war this last will dedicate its book of drawings to him “I am a prisoner”

After a few months of captivity Raymond Claisse is repatriated at the request of the mayor of Châtillon on the Seine. Indeed, the city had been destroyed to 50% during the combat of 1940 and the mayor needed his engineer. However Claisse did not remain about it less prisoner of war and must point regularly at Kommandantur.

In 1950 it is then in charge of the subdivision of Meknès suburbs in Morocco, until 1956, date on which it returns to France to be in charge of the first work of drain of the Moselle. He will be then divisional engineer in charge of the Service of Public Constructions, then, until his retirement, of the direction of the Northern District of the Infrastructures of the department of the Moselle.

A beautiful rifle shot!

Anecdote in connection with a wild boar

The poaching does not report only some stray hares. A man of the section of lieutenant Claisse thus on the occasion to cut down with the snap hook a wild boar of an exceptional size. Far from formalizing this act which, in the civilian, had brought back to his author some troubles with Justice, the military authorities dispatched on the spot of the officer of Intendance to weigh the animal and to deduce, consequently occasion, of the rations of the 202ème Telegraphic Compagnie, the quantity of corresponding meat. Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves, even in an army in shift. (Jean Pierre Claisse)

Manuscript of the general June. Letter addressed to Georges Raynaud and inserted in his book.

The colors are the fact of my father who had started to pass the boards to the watercolour, as one finicked the plans of architect formerly. Jean Pierre Claisse

Etc because in this book there are 54 boards! Perhaps you will be likely to put the hand on a specimen of this rare book, in a specialized bookseller, but the drawings will not be color! R Cima
