Joseph Agricol Viala: The 12-year-old Viala grabbed a hatchet, launched himself at the ropes of the bac de Bonpas and started to cut it. He was the subject of several musket volleys and he was mortally wounded by a musket ball from one of them. "M’an pas manqua ! Aquo es egaou; more per la libertat." ("They haven't missed me! All is equal - I die for liberty.")
Joseph Bara: At the age of twelve, he joined the French Revolutionary Army as a drummer boy after the outbreak of French Revolutionary Wars, and was killed by Chouan rebels while defending a pair of horses he was leading.
