Thierville is remarkable as one of only 12 villages in all of France with no men lost from World War I.[3] Even more remarkably, Thierville also suffered no losses in the Franco-Prussian War and World War II,[4] nor in the First Indochina War nor the Algerian War. All the soldiers who took part in these five wars came back home.[5]
