Andre Petit lives in one room in a busy street n Caen, with his mother and his two brothers. Andre's "Dear God-fathers", Co. C. of the 504th Engineers, sent him some money "for a game." He bought some Boche soldiers "so that he could be the American soldier to kill them all." The American Red Cross administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

A black and white photograph of a young boy, likely from the early 20th century given the style of clothing and quality of the image. The child is crouching on one knee in an outdoor setting with trees visible in the background. He's wearing dark overalls with boots and has his right hand reaching down towards several small figures that appear to be toy soldiers scattered on the ground. His expression seems focused, as he appears engaged in play or examination of these tiny objects. The image is labeled "3908" at the bottom left corner, which might indicate a cataloging system for photographs from an archive or collection.

Andre Ecuier, although he is only four years old, has lived through months of German raids and bombardments. When his father was killed, he and his mother were taken, with a Colony of refugee children whose homes in Nancy were endangered, into a quiet Normandy town where Andre goes to school and learns to march and to sing the soldier songs of Lorraine. He has been adopted by the Supply Company of the Q.M.C. No. 303. He asked his mother to write his god-fathers and to say "today, after bombardments in my home, I am safe and sound. I end with a big kiss for my dear parrains." The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops. September 1918

The image is a vintage black and white photograph. It shows two young children, a boy and a girl, interacting on outdoor steps. The boy appears to be older than the girl and is holding her hands or arms while they both sit side by side on the stairs. They are both looking at something in front of them that isn't visible in the image. In the background, there are stone walls which suggest a historical setting, possibly a castle or old ruins. The photograph has a textual overlay stating "Andre Ecuier" and "September 1918," along with some additional information about the context of the photo that seems to be related to historical events during World War I.

The mother of Andre Claudel died a year ago. His father was killed in the Argonne and Andre is so quiet, so serious, that he seems much more than ten years old. He is like a young old man in all he says and does. He is one of the best students at the refugee colony at Caen where he has lived ever since he was driven away from his home in Lorraine by the shells and poison gas of the Germans. His teacher says: "Il travaille dans la perfection," his work is perfect. Sometime he will go back to Lorraine when the Boches have been driven out. He says: "I like the American soldiers. They have come to protect my country. And I like especially my God-fathers." They are the Army Field Clerks of Section G-5, General Staff. The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops. Sept. 1918

The image is a black and white photograph featuring a young boy sitting alone. He appears to be engrossed in reading a book, with his eyes focused on the pages. His posture suggests concentration or fascination with the content of the book. The setting seems to be outdoors, possibly an urban area, given the texture of the wall behind him and the stone foundation he is sitting against. The image also contains text which provides additional context about the boy's life. It mentions that he was driven away from his home in Lorraine by German forces during World War I. The text notes his exceptional academic performance, stating that his work is perfect. He expresses admiration for American soldiers and has been adopted by them. Lastly, it mentions that the American Red Cross administers funds to support children like him who are being cared for by U.S. troops. The date of the photograph is mentioned as September 1918. This text provides a historical and emotional context to the image, highlighting the boy's resilience in the face of adversity and the impact of World War I on civilians, particularly children.
