1912 - 1918


In 1912, Le Rallic leaves to carry out his military service. He is affected at the school of cavalry of Saumur.

the "cadre noir de Saumur"

It is there still, when the war bursts on August 3, 1914. He incorporates the 21e dragon then. Thus as as well of other young people of his generation he is on the battle field as he will learn than the life has harder sometimes. During the conflict, he is liaison officer, and during one of his recognitions, he is wounded, touched with the leg. Wound of which he will make the wink in the review the BAÏONETTE (n° 102) where he continues to send his drawings. It is there, with the seat of this review, that one day it meets his future wife.
