Marcel CORDELLE was the son of a first cousin ofArsenus CORDELLE. He lived in Chénevières-sur-Marne, where we would visit him regularly, my parents and me during the 1940s-44.
He was an engineer from Centrale, an industrialist, manufacturer of stoves (brand Costes-Caumartin), married to Georgette CORDELLE, with a child, Jacques "Jackie", born around 1921.

During the 14-18 war, artillery officer, he was in the Balkans, in Salonique and Monastir. Four small photos were kept from this time with their handwritten comments (against them).
Marcel CORDELLE is died on 24 May 1973 in his house in Chénevières, 50, rue du Général de Gaulle.
