- ↑ Baron Jules Marie Edgard Lejeune, former pupil of Saint-Cyr, was captain of the 5e régiment de cuirassiers, seconded to the British 1st Cavalry Division. He died of his injuries 23 November 1914, at the military hospital at Bailleul (Nord) (see his military record in the database "Mémoire des hommes" [Memorial to the men]). Proust could have learned of his death from Le Figaro, 26 November 1914, p. 3, under the column "Le Monde et la Ville - Deuil" [Society and Town - Mourning], or from his detailed obituary that appeared in Le Figaro, 5 December 1914, p. 4, under the same column.
