Note 111 — PART III USAGES OF WAR AS REGARDS NEUTRAL STATES
J. H. (John Hartman) Morgan translation
At the end of August, 1870, some French detachments, without its being known, marched through Belgian territory; others in large numbers fled after the Battle at Sedan to Belgium, and were there disarmed. In February, 1871, the hard-pressed French Army of the East crossed into Switzerland and were there likewise disarmed.
