Sergeant BERTHAUD Gérard stands holding the piglet's spit.

Anecdote: Sergeant BERTHAUD will put forward the idea (agreed unanimously) not to go through the given checkpoints because the rations would be low. He then suggests going and plundering the surrounding farms for food. A dog which was defending its farm found itself skewered by a bayonet and then eaten.
