Degradation of French soldier in Paris court martial
A Paris garrison witnessed the degradation of Henri Maurice Michel, a Thirty-first infantry private found guilty with fellow private Grady of murdering an elderly woman. Michel faced a court martial sentence of two years hard labor and dishonorable discharge, then was publicly degraded before 2,000 troops and spectators. Grady was condemned to be shot. The scene featured Zouaves and colonial troops in a tense, ceremonial display as the prison van departed.
