Excerpt from The Strand Magazine, Vol. 8: An Illustrated Monthly; July to December, 1894

Black and bitter were the thoughts of Frenchmen when they saw this weal of dis honour slashed across the fair face of their country. They had fought and they had been overborne. That swarming cavalry, those countless footmen, the masterful guns -they had tried and tried to make head against them. In battalions their invaders were not to be beaten. But man to man, or ten to ten, they were their equals. A brave Frenchman might still make a single German rue the day that he had left his own bank of the Rhine. Thus, unchronicled amid the battles and the Sieges, there broke out another war, a war of individuals, with foul murder upon the one side and brutal reprisal on the other.
