In the war of 1870 he drove a team instead of a camion.

Too old to serve in the active army and so assigned to the more
unromatic, uninteresting but vital work of loading camions, tending
horses, or building and repairing roads back of the lines. It has been
said that the first battle of Verdun was won by the camion service.
This is the kind of man who made that victory possible
