Jules loses his Officer Candidacy

Jules loses his Officer Candidacy

Jules lost his officer candidacy when he crushed a captain's hat with his hands.

The captain was disciplining one the men who had just returned from battle. The soldier's boots were muddy and dirty hours after the Battle of Smolensk [ Russia 1812] and the Captain who somehow had not been in the action was going to make him stand guard all night.

Jules wasn't sorry at the time and now looking back years later he wondered why he hadn't killed the captain.
