BODY FR03I XO 3IAVS LA'D
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES July
10 (By .Mallj. Captain iGarandeau
who began the present war as a ser-
geant has been awarded tho Legion
of Honor for recovering under most
exceptional circumstances the body of
a French officer killed Just ln front
or tiie German trenches. While raarclt-
Ino gun operators hundreds of yards
behind the French lines executed a
barrage fire of protection over tho
dead body Garandeau In broad day-
Ugnt and under the oyes of both the
French and the Germans crcnt face-
downward to the spot and attaching
tno body to his leg with a rope suc-
cessfully dragged It back into the
French lines.
The dead officer. Lieutenant Seve by
name togethor with his orderly nam-
ed Ollmo. had been k.lled during a
night raid on the German trenches.
Immediately afterwards another party
had left the French trenches for the
purposo of bringing back the two
bodies but after seachlng all night in
vain eame back in the morning empty
handed. During the course of the fore-
noon the French finally succeeded In
locating with strong field glasses the
bodies lying In the tall grass Just in
front of the German trench and where
any efforts to recover them would be
'n full view of the enemy. As it was
certain that if the bodies were left
there till night the Germans would
be able to ambush any one who then
sought to recover them Capta'n Gar-
andeau who barely know the dead
officer personally volunteered to
bring back the dead body in broad
open daylight he onlr possible pro-
tection that could be offered him was
for the French machine eun onemtnra
to keep the dead body constantly cov-j
tu wiui a oarrage fire so that at
least the Germans would not be able
to creep out of their trenches and en-
gage a hand-to-hand fght with the
rescuer. Accompanied by a soldier
named yerdier who also volunteered
for the task. Garandeau left the French
trenches being obliged first to cut his
