At Saverne, one of his men fell in love with a little Alsatian girl who had a fancy for a shawl.

It gave Georges Scott the subject of a beautiful allegory in L'Illustration-thatFrench soldier clasping the Alsatian girl rescued from the German grip.

By the way, we have a curious case now in the women's ward of my service, a pretty little Alsatian girl of eighteen or twenty.
