Jeanne Macherez

Jeanne Macherez (12 April 1852 – 9 December 1930) was a French heroine during the World War I.

She married in Metz, Alfred Macherez who later became general counsel, deputy and senator of Aisne.

She negotiated everything, managed to minimize the negative fallout of this occupation, and protected the region from German abuses and looting.

On 12 September 1914, at the end of the First Battle of the Marne, the Germans were forced to release their hold on Soissons, and occupy only the right bank of the Aisne.

[3] The prefect of the Aisne, Robert Leullier then appointed Georges Muzart to be the mayor of Soissons.
