From Paris, came
a new record -
A family living
Saone-et-Loire,
Headed by Bernard
Guichard.
This workman has
been noted
To have seventeen
sons - each
One of which were
mobilised
Into the military,
within 1917
Class - his
eighteenth son
Would yet follow
his brothers; so
A French family topped the board.
A French family topped the board.
