On this clarion you can clearly see many marks where the bullets hit it. They bear testimony to a tragic and heroic act. The clarion belongs to soldier Leon Mollet. The different tunes he plays on the battle field represent different orders. It is strange that amidst the modern communication of the First World War, orders are still given with such a simple instrument. Clarion players such as Leon Mollet are in a difficult position: by playing their instrument, they reveal their exact position to the enemy. Mollet dies in the final weeks of the war, on October 15, 1918.
