What looks to be a storyline for a CoC game, or something similar to it. Pretty nifty usage of text and old photos. I've included a loose English translation of the French under the cut.
What follows is a loose translation. Please forgive me for any errors as I am not a native speaker and am trying for contextual approximation rather than literal translation. When appropriate, I've used alternate translations to convey what I thought was closest to the English phrasing ("Eastern" for Orientale rather than "Oriental")
