J R Vuillemin Rank:<\/em>\u00a0Sergeant Fusilier-Mitrailleur<\/p>\n Service:<\/em>\u00a0French Army<\/p>\n Other Info:<\/em>\u00a0Has been twice wounded. He sent us (the newspaper) the portrait with best wishes to Hastings friends and the following letter; “Dear Sir, – Excuse my pencil, please, but I am in the trenches today, and my pen holder is broken. You have to excuse my poor English too, as I am a Frenchman; an old Hastings admirer; more an old Hastings lover. In 1914, when war broke out, I was at the Berlitz’s School, and was Mrs Cox’s (13 Marina, St Leonards) boarder. Owing to her I get your most interesting ‘Pictorial’ very often, so I have news of good old Hastings chaps; Syd Smith, F Cox etc. I do not think the ‘Pictorial’ readers will recognise me, as I have moustaches today. Nevertheless, you’ll see me in the same costume I had on the Pier or on the most charming Hastings cliffs. Wishing you and your paper all the success you deserve, I am, yours faithfully, J R Vuillemin.<\/p>\n Published:<\/em>\u00a0June 1917<\/p>\n Please use the comments box below if you can provide more information about this\u00a0person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" J R Vuillemin Rank:\u00a0Sergeant Fusilier-Mitrailleur Service:\u00a0French Army Other Info:\u00a0Has been twice wounded.
