Marie Emilie Réallon was a Parisian nurse who cared for the Corsican soldiers during WW1. In 1914, her husband, a philosophy professor in Corte accidentally died in the Restonica.
When WW1 broke out, she decided to devote herself to the Corsican soldiers who were wounded on the battlefields, and this was by way of a reward for the population of Corte, thanking them for the comfort brought to her following the death of her husband.
