Legends will spring out of them and the soil they have
reddened. We have heard little of the French in this war--and almost
nothing at all from them. And yet it is the French that have held the
decisive battle line. Unprepared and peace-loving, they have stood the
shock of a perfectly equipped and war-loving army.
Monsieur Le Goffic is the official historian of the Fusiliers Marins.
His book has gone through forty-nine editions. He is a poet, novelist
and critic. That American sympathy is appreciated is proved by this
sentence from a letter of Le Goffic to an American who had expressed
admiration for the Breton sailors:--"Merci, Monsieur, au nom de mon
pays, merci pour nos marins, et merci pour moi meme."
