‘Rex was the star of the day’‘On Sunday August 24th 1919, the entire town of Chateauroux celebrated with panache the return of its beloved poilus. Dressed up to the nine, the Castelroussins (habitants of Chateauroux) crowded the streets to party all day, all night. Following the VIPs’ speeches and the military parade, the poilus and their beloved mascot, Rex, gathered for a très joyous banquet. Camera-ready Rex was undoubtedly the star of the day.’ Châteauroux - les fêtes du retour des poilus - 24 août 1919 – Image: Rex, the star of the day – See video of that special day here. -- source link
