the most tragic and saddest stories Of |
the war, now known all over France.
From Sept. Z, 1914, the body of Bonn |
barber Bouret, pierced by the bullets
of firing squad. rested in an unmarked
grave shamed by cowardice until French
justice unearthed the facts and cleanscG
his name.
On Aug. %, 1914, Bouret, his record
excellent, was severely wounded by IN
enemy shell which wrecked the gun %
which he was attached. The military
surgeon in the field hospital pronounced
! the victim suffering from nervous d.
Irangement, temporarily impairing his
reason.
Bouret escaped from the hospital and
wandered aimlesslv into the country. \
