Mainz is a town in which there was one of 390 prisoners of war camps and it was reserved for French officers or allies. One such officer-prisoner wrote in French Haute-Loire and said that all is well: Fidelity Remembrance at all, we can assume that the use of the faithful word designates the chaplain.https://thechaplainkit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/french-chaplain-monsignior-ruch1.jpgFrench Chaplain Monsignior RuchMore than a priest and chaplain, Monseigneur Ruch was bishop and was commissioned in 1917, together with Mgr Llobet, to hold the function of "ecclesiastical inspector armies" that is to say to control and coordinate Action 500 (approximately) holders chaplains and volunteers in service. It was an important step, because the state was excluded from the 1880 Act any existence of "chief chaplain" in the military, fearing the development of a clergy too independent for his taste in the ranks. I believe Mgr Ruch was Alsatian and was bishop of Strasbourg. It may be noted, on a strictly uniformologic plane, the cross he wears in this picture is absolutely not the regulatory model. But after all, this regulatory model (mle 1854) was not adopted by all, far from it: the famous father Umbricht also was himself a missionary cross. A number of service by priests as chaplains or volunteers holders challenged this cross chaplain deemed too "military badge" to their liking.https://thechaplainkit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/french-chaplains.jpgFrench-ChaplainsOn the right, the Chaplain has five chevrons on his left sleeve, indicating that he has already spent three years in the military zone.

Instead, the padre in camouflage kit learns how to enfilade through villages where there may be snipers' bullets, learns how to make use of cover, hug walls, crouch before turning corners.https://thechaplainkit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/padre-4b-cropped-25.jpgPadre- (4)b-cropped-25This is no job for slackers. The modern padre is trained to be tough. He must be as fit as the men he will minister to in battle conditions.

The Cardinal Archbishop of Cologne has given a singularly practical illustration of the resourcefulness, as well as the anxiety, of the Church in the administration of the consolations of religion to soldiers on active service. By the generosity of his Eminence, who provided the money for the novel undertaking, a chapel on wheels has been built up with considerable ingenuity. It is the size of an ambulance-van, is painted grey, and bears conspicuously a Red Cross. The altar, reverently and beautifully constructed, is placed at the back of the car, and a tent is arranged as a protection against rain and bad weather. The doors of the car, opening out, form the sides of the altar. Priest Count Spee, who was formerly an officer in the Army, accompanies this remarkable chapel on its beneficent work."

The resulting Temple of Virtue, as it was known — also called the New Building and Public Building — was 110 feet by 30 feet. It was used also for courts-martial hearings, commissary and quartermaster activities and officers’ functions. (www.revolutionaryday.com).
