Abstract

The Last Review in Paris
July 23, 1874 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on issues related to military reviews in France. In the military review of Paris, prisoners coming from Germany, learned on their arrival that it was for them to attack the capital. They did not hesitate, after months of captivity, they re-entered the ranks of a completely disorganized army, and they began the terrible war against the Commune--a war of ambuscades, of patience. They conquered Paris quarter by quarter, street by street, sometimes house by house. Eight thousand French soldiers lost their lives in this conflict.
