villagers. Other issues followed including the sudden overflow of telegrams, resulting in tension between the townspeople and the infantry. In summer, many villagers had their boats as well as horses and carriages requisitioned for military transport. After the company's departure in May 1916, the villagers that hosted soldiers received indemnities, some even requested additional money to cover damages caused by the soldiers. War Requisitions Since the beginning of the war, Villennes-sur-Seine was forced to contribute to the nourishment of the army—both men and horses. The mayor attempted to oppose requisitions as the crops from the only farm in Villennes-sur-Seine were hardly enough for to sustain the needs of the town. Requisitions by the army for wheat, hay, and potatoes only increased. As the war continued, crops were difficult to harvest as the population of young men at war would have normally contributed to agricultural labor. Mr. Laumonier requested a delay in the recruitment of farmers from Villennes-sur-Seine. He also requested soldiers for harvest season and to pick potatoes and beetroots at smaller farms. For the harvest of 1915, at least twenty soldiers were called. As the war continued, Villennes-sur-Seine suffered a wheat shortage. Wheat being the most important crop in the commune, the requisitions demanded by the state could not be met by the farmers in the town.

Most were from Allied countries such as England, the United States, Belgium or Italy, but the town shows records of hosting people from Argentina, Brazil and Spain. On several accounts, the mayor gave the authorities reports on people from Germany or Austria that had lived in Villennes-sur-Seine. In some cases, if said person is deemed a traitor, their homes were to be boarded up by the commune. Victims of the War Starting in November 1914, Villennes-sur-Seine begins to see their villagers die. The first deaths are two brothers from one of the town's smaller farms. In total, 42 young men from Villennes-sur-Seine died for their country. Amongst them are men from both wealthy and modest backgrounds. A monument is created in 1919 in their honor. Interwar period After the en of the war, the Parisians return to Villennes-sur-Seine and in the
