Place name Larcy, France

I have a cousin who was killed in WWI and a newspaper account says his death occurred in Larcy, France. I can't find any such place on a French map.

Have any of you seen or heard of this town?

Also, I have only found one list of WWI casualties out on the net. If you know of any online sources, please let me know!

Thanks!

All those who died for France are normally found on this website:
http://www.memoiredeshommes.sga.defense.gouv.fr/spip.php?pag...

If you find the form, you'll have as information, date and place of birth, rank, cause, place and date of his death

I hope I did it right (I don't read French) but it kept saying they did not have any information on Thomas G. Kennedy. Perhaps because his death was an accidental plane crash and not an actual act of the war they might not list him?

Thanks for the help.

All the dead are referenced (combat, accident, illness), but I think it only concerns French (1 300 000 dead)

I also searched in the flight personnel, but I did not find Kennedy.
Probably for the same reason
