- ↑ According to Céleste Albaret's recollections, her husband Odilon was called up at the start of the war, even if he "had to hang about for a whole month or maybe more" before he left (Monsieur Proust, souvenirs recueillis par Georges Belmont, Robert Laffont, 1973, p. 39-40). His military record in the Seine matriculation register confirms these recollections: he had joined his regiment (19e Escadron du Train des équipages) on 3 August 1914, and was transferred to the 13e Régiment d'artillerie on 1st September 1914, where he remained until 1st June 1916, the date of a new assignment to the military supply section. In 1915 then he was no longer driving taxis. [PK, FP, FL]
