Land French Boy’s Valor.
Jacques Goujon, seventeen years old, has been mentioned in military
orders, and a military medal has been given him. The youth killed two
German sentinels, blew up, with the aid of bombs, two quick-firers of
the enemy, was captured, but succeeded in escaping, carrying with him at
the same time a machine gun of the Germans to the French lines. Later,
during a German counter-attack, Goujon’s right arm was blown off by a
shell.
The military authorities at Lyons, Goujon’s home city, had refused to
accept him for military duty on account of his age. He went to Paris,
where he was accepted because of his robust constitution.
