Description: 'PATRIOTS AT CHAMPIGNY: The annual pilgrimage at Champigny la Bataill organised by M. Maurice Barres to honour the Patriots who have died for their Country'. The procession makes its way past the cemetery at Champigny. Umbrellas are much in evidence, since it is raining, and many people are carrying wreathes. Three men (one of the presumably M Barres) give speeches.
