A high school history book describes the insurrection by French troops: 'French replacements marched past their generals bleating like sheep. They believed they were being led like animals to the slaughter. Some 30,000 men decided to leave their trenches and walk home. Some 54 divisions, about one-half of the French army, refused to obey orders from commanding generals.'"
