Just seen an update on this poignant story. Despite the home passing through many hands the room remains intact. The parents of the dead soldier had asked for it to remain untouched for 500 years. 100 years on it has been left as is, Very poignant.

This is an article from 2014

Very touching however such a shame the moths had taken hold.
I hope the new caretakers will preserve what’s left.
The Vichy French connection was rather ironic.
