The 105th Infantry Regiment strolled around the streets as if on a leisurely walk, and only after more than an hour of cheers and exclamations from the people of Paris did they return to the police training base.
Upon reaching the base, the soldiers ran madly towards the bathhouse while stripping off their clothes, leaving their uniforms strewn all over the place. Most of them were already stark naked by the time they got there, yet they still clutched their rifles and had their belts slung over their shoulders, looking quite like savages.
The uniforms, they wouldn't think of washing and reusing them again. No matter what, they had to change into a new set.
