SPIRIT LE SECRET DES BRAVES XO

History:

During the first World War, 1914-1918, General Durieux, an intrepid officer and fine strategist was entrusted with the most difficult and most risky missions by the top command.

He commanded the much-talked-about shock troops, including the best soldiers in the army and those who had shown incredible courage in battle. Thus, he won several battles, among those were battles deemed impossible to win.

In the evenings, after each successful battle, General Durieux would reunite the best soldiers from the battle and would share with them a first-rate bottle which was taken from his personal reserve, called le Secret des Braves (the Secret of the Couragous)…
