Because of these two qualities, on 26 September 1914, under difficult circumstances, he provided information about the presence of considerable forces to the rear of the enemy armies and continued updating on a delicate situation. He has undertaken numerous reconnaissances over the enemy." Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur citation, 13 July 1915 |
