 The French sent up a spotter plane now that the fog had lifted and the artillery on the other bank could open fire without fear of killing their own side.Darkness fell again at 6pm and the battle continued until news of the armistice arrived.The last of the 91 French soldiers to die was Trébuchon, "with a red hole in his right side", probably a figure of speech as this expression comes from Arthur Rimbaud's very famous poem "Le Dormeur du Val" (The Sleeper in the Valley).
