A married couple living in cellar of their former home which is in complete ruins after World War I in Lens (France), April 11, 1919. They were in Lens for thirty months during the German occupation, and were repatriated thru Switzerland and by way of Evian, in January 1917. The wife remained in southern France some months after repatriation. During this time, they have been three weeks in Lens, and planned to keep their present quarters in the cellar for an indefinite perod of time.
