A Memorial Mass at Lessy

You may not think this is going to mass but we actually went to mass this morning with Marie and Michel and the soldiers. The uniforms for this batallion were made by a gentleman from Lessy who died two years ago. Michel invited the batallion to come to Lessy for a memorial celebration of this man who took his own life at only 54. While this may look like pomp and glory it was quite sad. I asked about the women in the batallion who appeared to be wearing soldiers coats. Jeff explained that the women often wore cast offs from the soldiers and made their money by washing for the soldiers and performing other "duties."
