Courrier de Paul Kramer
Letter written by Paul Kramer on March 11, 1916, a few days before his death: "I am going back down to Verdun this morning after 6 days of hell. Ah my God! What a slaughter! What a butchery. even at Arras. My regiment has just lost two-thirds of its strength. In the end, we held on despite the gases and flaming liquids. The Boches only use 150 and 210 shells."

- Courrier écrit par paul Kramer le 11 mars 1916, quelques jours avant sa mort : "je redescends ce matin à Verdun après 6 jours d'enfer. Ah mon Dieu ! Quelle tuerie ! Quelle boucherie. Des bonbardements comme personne n'en avait vus, même à Arras. Mon régiment vient de perdre les deux tiers de son effectif. Enfin nous avons tenu bon quand même malgré les gaz et les liquides enflammés. Les boches ne se servent que d'obus de 150 et de 210"
