Jean Cordelle and Simone Hausermann met at the age of 12 on the "Ceylon" ship which brought their families back from Argentina to France in 1910.
Jean Cordelle was Born in Paris in 1898 (page 373), son of a polytechnician, Louis CORDELLE (page 37) employed in the exploitation of the Chemins de Fer du Nord, and having lived in the Paris region.
- (see pages on the time 1902-1904 (page 374), the birth of Jean's two twin sisters, Suzanne and Germaine, and 1904-1906 (page 375), death of Germaine with tuberculosis) -
Jean, aged 9, left for three years Buenos Aires (of 1907 to 1910 page 3762) Her father was the chief of the CGBA (General Railways of the Province of Buenos Aires) see page 3763.
In 1909, Jean was 11 years old when he went with his parents and Suzanne visit the Iguazù Falls, (page 3764) a long journey running up 1600km the rio Paranà by train - 1100km - then by boat -500km-.
In 1910, the family returned to France (page 377)On the return boat, Jean met Simone Hausermann who also returned to France and married later. Both were 12 years old, after this trip they did not see each other again until 1917.
Jean's family spent the 6 months of leave of Louis in part in Enghien with Arsène and Emile Cordelle, and partly on the French Riviera and Corsica.
From 1911 to 1912, Louis Cordelle had found a place at the Chemins de fer in Algeria, and the family moved to Sidi-Bel-Abbès, Algeria (page 378), where Louis, Jean's father, died (page 3784) tuberculosis.
Hélène Cordelle (page 37) ("Good Mother"), widow with two children, Jean and Suzanne, then returned to France. Jean lived until after the war 14-18 with his mother, sister Suzanne, his grandmother Feige "Grandma Feige") her aunt Thérèse ("Tété"), also a widow, and the two cousins Yvonne and Gillette Bidel.
They lived at 2 rue Pierre Curie in Paris, Jean going to the lycée Henri IV and studying without Latin, which was rare at the time.
(see pages on Hélène CORDELLE (page 38), the Great War, Coutainville (page 384), Veils the Roses (page 385), years 1912-1916)
For his part Simone Hausermann, for his part, was born in 1898 to Bizerte in Tunisia (see page 493), where his father, Central Engineer see page 49, worked for the Hersent public works company. His family took him in 1906 Rosario (in Argentina, 300 km northeast of Buenos Aires, on the Paraná) where she lived with her family until 1912 (see page 495).
His stay was marked by travel to Chile, page 4955 (crossed by the Andes with mule) Iguazú Falls , Riachuelo (in Uruguay) page 4954, for holidays and by a temporary return of a few months to France in 1910 Pages 4960, 4961, 4962, 4963, 4964, where his parents bought the castle of Vierville (page 496).
On its definitive return to France in 1912, the Hausermann family moved to Paris 123 avenue de Longchamp. years 1914-16 (page 497), and years 1916-20, (page 498).
Simone attended high school in Fénelon, without Latin, but did not pass it, because "it was not" for the young girls of the time. She followed the courses of the Camille Jullian painting workshop.
During War 14-18, John entered the'Ecole Polytechnique (page 386)), following the trace and wishes of his father, who died five years earlier. It was at that time that his mother Hélène Cordelle returned to contact with the Hausermanns by writing to them.
Jean and Suzanne were invited to attend the Château de Vierville in the summer of 1917 (page 386)John has regularly seen the Hausermanns.see page 387, visit to Bergerac to meet Grandma Feige and the family of Jean's aunt, Thérèse), and married Simone in November 1920 (page 388), at the end of its 1st year of civil engineering study Bridges and Chaussées. (see its Diploma in engineering).
About the same time, Gabriel Dessus, schoolmate of Jean, married Suzanne Cordelle, Jean's little sister (who was then called Suzannette to distinguish her from Suzanne Hausermann who had married George Chedal-Anglay in 1917).
