Villeroy: Jacques Braquet 14-18 Museum

Description

Officially inaugurated on 5 September 2004, the museum's collection brings together numerous objects discovered in recent years during excavations on various French battlefields: weapons, helmets, bowls, bottles...
The museum also houses documentation on the Great War, including books, magazines, posters, postcards and photos, as well as a scale model of the battlefield with figurines.

In 2004, following the 90th anniversary ceremonies and the many historic marches accompanied by 12 Moroccan officers, a replica of a complete Moroccan rifleman's uniform was donated by the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces.

Another mannequin represents Charles Péguy, in his 276th Infantry Regiment Lieutenant uniform.

The military canteen bearing his name was kindly donated by the Péguy family.

On 6 September 2009, Michel Péguy, Charles Péguy's grandson, presented the museum with the kepi and epaulettes from Lieutenant Péguy's ceremonial uniform.

The Musée 14-18 de Villeroy is a 5th category public establishment with a capacity of 19 people.
The museum publishes books, which can be found on the website.
