<ref name="n23"> Allusion à un article paru en première page dans Le Figaro du 12 novembre 1914, sous le titre « Vers l'Alsace », par le général Zurlinden. Ce dernier affirmait : « On a déjà donné bien des explications sur l'origine de ce surnom de "Boches", donné aux Allemands, à la suite de notre première incursion de la guerre actuelle dans la Haute-Alsace, à Altkirch et à Mulhouse. Il est probable qu'à leur rentrée en France, nos troupiers, se souvenant mal de l'appellation de "Schwob" qu'ils ont dû entendre répéter à satiété en Alsace, ont retouné le mot, et supprimant le double "v", en ont fait "Boche" […]. » Le général Zurlinden avait été plusieurs fois ministre de la Guerre, et gouverneur militaire de Paris.
