Charles Péguy en pantalon rouge

Charles Péguy left on 4 August 1914 as “a soldier of the Republic, for general disarmament, for the last of wars”. “Killed by the enemy” on 5 September, the day after the Miracle of the Marne, this exemplary lieutenant of the infantry invites us to reflect not only on the patriotism of those called up in the summer of 1914, but also on who this insurgent, writer, and poet in red trousers was.
