Monsieur Gaston Derome

Monsieur Gaston  Derome

Born: 01 January 1868
Died: 01 January 1954

This photo shows Gaston as a young man, perhaps when a student at Lille.

Gaston Derome, father of four young children left motherless by the death of his wife Louise in 1913, was an inspiring leader to his small community throughout WWI.

Without his letter to my grandfather, Major Tom's War would be an altogether shorter and poorer novel.
