Némorin Lignon

Némorin Lignon was a French soldier who served during World War I. Born in Pouzolles, Hérault, he began his military career as a medical auxiliary in October 1906, later joining the Corps of Carabiniers in 1912. He was mobilized at the onset of the war in August 1914 and served with the 96th Colonial Infantry Regiment before being transferred to the 44th Infantry Regiment. Lignon faced the brutal conditions of the front lines, particularly during the intense bombardments near Verdun, where he ultimately succumbed to an illness contracted during service, passing away on April 26, 1916. He is honored as 'Mort pour la France' for his sacrifice.
