Freddie

Freddie was born to an African - American family in La Place, Louisiana on February 27, 1882.

In 1912, he began a secret courtship with Margaret, a young white woman and daughter of a prominent steamship magnate. He asked her hand in marriage one year later and the couple decided in the spring of 1914 to get on a cargo ship and head to La Rochelle, France, where they could be married. The couple visited Paris and toured the French countryside until the war broke out. Tragically affected by the war, Freddie enlisted with the French Foreign Legion, seeking revenge against the German Regiment which stole from him these moments of happiness. Freddie meets the other Characters along the way.
