of judgment, and many articles and books have been printed in his defense, and now, at length, a worthy Spanish officer, son of Marshal Bazaine, has addressed to the Minister of Justice of the French Republic a request, based on the terms of the law of 1895, for the revision of judgment of the court-martial of Trianon which convicted his late father. It is quite possible, indeed certain, that the position of Alphonse Bazaine will revive in France as well as abroad a passionate controversy as to the guilt or innocence of the Marshal." In the same year as Bazaine's death, Count d'Herrison published an account in defence of the Bazaine's decisions during the Franco-Prussian war, which casting doubt upon the characters and motivations of witnesses whose testimonies were key to the court's findings that Bazaine was guilty of treason. Between 1904 and 1912, the French Court of Appeal lawyer Élie Peyron published several works in Bazaine's defence. "The Duke, Marshal and 3rd President of France de MacMahon, survived Bazaine by five years; Paris gave President Marshal MacMahon a funeral that choked the wide boulevards for hours. The Doyen of Marshals de Canrobert, last of the Foreign Legion Marshals of the Second French Empire, was buried like a prince in 1895. The Foreign Legion, which has never felt obliged to accept the French view on anything, still honours Bazaine. In its museum there exists almost no trace of MacMahon, nor of Canrobert or of de Saint-Arnaud. Bazaine however has his own corner, adorned with his battered kepi, the bits and pieces of the harness he used at Rezonville and Gravelotte, and the cross Conrad pinned on him after Macta. The Legion knows that courage is not a mask that a soldier can wear or discard at will". The Legion annually pays tribute to Bazaine. Decorations For the accusations brought upon him, he was suspended of his rights to wear his French and Foreign decorations. The decorations and distinctions which he had formerly earned were: Grand Cross of France's Legion of Honour (2 July 1863) Médaille Militaire Commemorative Medals of Crimea, Italy and Mexico Companion of the Order of the Bath Knight Grand Cross of the Italian Order of Savoy Grand Ciordon of the Order of Léopold of the Belgians Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Lion and the Sun of Persia Grand Cross of the Order of the
