Summary/Abstract: Le Portugal est l'un des pays qui a participé dans la 1ère Guerre Mondiale en envoyant un contingent de milliers de soldats. L’un d’entre eux venait de la région Terra de Miranda, au Nord-Est du Portugal, un territoire assez connu pour la richesse de ses traditions culturelles ainsi que de sa langue. Dans cet article on trace le parcours de ce combattant, en décrivant son voyage et en étudiant quelques particularités du journal intime qu’il nous a laissé. Au même temps, on évoque la mémoire du grand linguiste portugais, Luís Filipe Lindley Cintra, qui a été un des passionnés de la culture mirandaise et notamment de sa langue.
