Rene-Francois Fenwick, in July, 1918, after he died on the battlefield.: "Mort au Champ d’honneur. Nous apprenons avec regret la mort au champ d’honneur du capitaine Fenwick, qui a été l’objet d’une brillante citation dans les termes suivants : « Fenwick (René-François), capitaine au 31e régiment de dragons, officier très brave et plein d’allant, au front depuis le début de la campagne, n’a cessé de manifester le plus souverain mépris du danger. Organisateur habile, exemple d’énergie et de belle humeur sous le feu. A été mortellement frappé à son poste de combat. » bmsenlis.com/data/pdf/js/1916-1918/bms_js_1918_07_28_MRC.pdf

Rue Bellan cannot be found on current maps of Senlis in Oise, so perhaps it was renamed or removed.

It appears to be misspelled and is Rue Bellon: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6266479892/ However, it is (presumably) misspelled on the Agence Meurisse original of this and the other related Senlis war damage photos as well gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b9041829z . Meurisse catalog number is at upper right of Bain image. Meurisse image at Gallica has publication date of 1914. This local website, which has an extensive archive of pictures of 1914 war damage in Senlis, in most cases has changed the street name to Rue Bellon if it is spelled in another way on the source photo: www.bmsenlis.com/sitebmsenlis/galerie/index.php?/category/61

Other Bain photo of the 1914 war damage on Rue Bellon:

Cropped from original Agence Meurisse photo shown at Bibliotheque Nationale de France's Gallica site, with following caption:
"la rue Bellan bombardée par les Allemands "
[Rue Bellan bombed by the Germans]





Pub. Date 1914
