Yann-Ber Kalloc'h (born ''Jean-Pierre Calloc'h'' in French) (21 July 1888 – 10 April 1917) was a French writer in Breton and French. He died in combat in World War I, near Urvillers/Cerizy (Aisne). The Breton Scouting organization ''Bleimor'' is named in his honor. ==Life== Yann-Ber Kalloc'h was born on the island of Groix as the son of a fisherman (who died in October 1902) and his wife. He describes his childhood in the autobiographical poem '. Kalloc'h at first wanted to become a Roman Catholic priest and entered the minor seminary of St Anne d'Auray in 1900, then the major seminary at Vannes in October 1905. He was forced to renounce his vocation after his two sisters and his younger brother revealed signs of mental illness, since canon law forbade the priesthood to those who had relatives suffering from such diseases. He became tutor in various cities including Paris. Taking the bardic name of ''Bard Bleimor'' (Sea Bass), Kalloc'h wrote for various regionalist and autonomist newspapers in the Breton language. On October 12, 1915, he wrote a letter to Achille Collin which became the basis for a 1919 petition in favor of Breton. In Brittany, at least six streets bear his name.〔The names that have made the history of Brittany, 1997〕 Yann-Ber Kalloc'h enlisted in the French Army during World War I and was killed in action; his name appears in the Panthéon with those of 546 other writers who were killed in the war. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yann-Ber Kalloc'h」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
