On September 5, 1914, near Penchard, the Moroccan Brigade launched an assault on the Bois du Télégraphe, a wooded hill held by the Germans. The fighting was extremely deadly; Captain Hugot-Derville, who had been knocked unconscious, was killed with his revolver drawn. He rests, as he wished, where he fell.
