Can anyone read the name of this French artillery man who wrote on this postcard from 1914?

I bought a few French WWI postcards over the past few months and found this one, seems the man was an artillery man with the 60e regiment of artillery, and the 28th battery. It seems his name is dormeuse or dameuse but I have trouble reading it, I checked the grand memorial but I didn’t find him, likely because I don’t know his first name other than the fact it says M.

I also posted this on the WWI subreddit but thought it may be a good idea to seek a second opinion from you all on this sub. Anyhow any help would be appreciated, thanks!
