Piquets massacre forty young soldiers at Vincendon
On 15 August 1869 there was a dreadful butchery: forty soldiers of the army of the South, young men of 15 to 20 years, the flower of the youth of the Cayes, Aquin and Cavaillon, were holding a post there under the command of General Lormond Morisseau, of Aquin, who held it for General Domingue against President Salnave. It was noon. Some were bathing in the Citronniers River, others were resting from their fatigues in the shade of the great trees. A horde of Piquets led by Siffra suddenly emerges from the woods and, before the young men had time to leap to their weapons, massacres them pitilessly. Their corpses were found, carried off by the rapid waters of the river, among the reeds of the banks.
Rouzier tells this under the entry VINCENDON.
