Corporal Paris is chosen because his commanding officer, Roget, wishes to keep him from testifying about his actions in the scouting mission.
A picture book biography of Roget entitled The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus was published by Eerdmans Books in 2014.
During a nighttime scouting mission prior to the attack, a drunken lieutenant named Roget ( Wayne Morris ) sends one of his two men ahead as a scout.
Eventually, heavily outnumbered, Roget ordered his men back to their base near the coast, angry that the British had arrived only after he had "restored order".
Having safely returned, he confronts Roget, but Roget denies any wrongdoing, and falsifies his report to Colonel Dax.
Later, Roget was sacked, but a furious row broke out between Britain and France.
