Colonel Adrien Henry's retirement in Commercy. Arms collection, tributes to veterans, and his final departure in 1963.
2 October 1952: he rekindles the flame at the Arc de Triomphe.
A great enthusiast of firearms, he collected them and always took pleasure in displaying them. Here, he is with a journalist from the ORTF (French national broadcasting service).
He amassed over 1,000 weapons from all periods. Until the 1980s, the walls of a large room in his house were covered with them.
May 1963, another departure. He gave so much so that his country might live in freedom.
