  1. Article by Daniel Halévy that appeared in le Journal des Débats from Tuesday 17 November 1914, p. 2, under the title “Les Trois Croix” [The Three Crosses]. The addressee reproduced his article with the letter from Proust in the review "Le Divan" (January-March 1956), p. 294-298; he asserts that he translated and adapted the account of a soldier; he found the text of the account in "an English journal whose title his memory hasn’t retained". The same event is briefly reported in L'Intransigeant from 15 November 1914, p. 1, under the title "To save the enemy". It recounts the heroic death of an officer in command of an English infantry’s section, death that took place on a plain near the town of Ypres. [PK]
