After the return of the 105th Infantry Regiment to Paris, they were welcomed with the highest honors and permitted to pass through the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées in the center of Paris.
This structure was commissioned by France's First Emperor Napoleon, typically allowing soldiers to pass through only when a decisive or at least a significant victory was achieved as a symbol of celebration.
Thus, one can understand the importance of this victory in the hearts of the French people.
Shire was not present; he did not like such occasions, especially as they might cost him his life... The time and place for passing through the Arc de Triomphe were fixed, which meant danger for Shire.
Shire did not go elsewhere; he reported to Gallieni at the City Defense Headquarters before returning to the police training base.
