A few days ago, some French soldiers, behind a barricade a little in advance of the Moulin Saqui, saw a Bavarian crawl towards them, waving a white flag.

When he stopped, the soldiers called to him to come forward, but he remained, still waving his flag.

Sergeant Truffet then got over the barricade, and went towards him.

Several Germans immediately rushed forward, and sergeant, flag, and Germans, disappeared within the enemy's lines.

The next day, General Vinoy sent an officer to protest against this gross violation of the laws of war, and to demand that the sergeant should be restored.
