Interesting thread on killing a sleeping soldier

 

Hello,

found this photo in a far relative's album. My relative served as a captain in the Bavarian Leib Infanterie Regiment. He wrote this on 5th September 1914 to his wife.

Photo shows the keen french major, who killed a sleeping German guard in the wagon with his own bayonet. He and seven others were executed in Ingolstadt.

Any chance to find out the name of the french major?

Thanks
