The flag was placed in the middle of the court, under guard of the ensign and a squad of non-commissioned officers selected for the honor.

The band of the regiment, at the entrance of the garden, filled up the background of the picture.

Eight panoplies of arms, which had been improvised the same morning by the armorers of the corps, embellished the walls and railings.

A company of grenadiers, with their arms at rest, were in attendance.
At the entrance of Fougas, the band played the famous "_Partant pour la Syrie;_" the grenadiers presented arms; the drums beat a salute; the non-commissioned officers and soldiers cried, "_Vive le Colonel Fougas!_" the officers, in a body, approached the patriarch of their regiment.

All this was neither regular nor according to discipline, but we can well allow a little latitude to these brave soldiers on finding their ancestor.
