A well deserved honour

Cross of Honour for the Séguin brothers

A committee of important figures from the world of aeronautics has approached the Ministry of Public Works to ask that the Cross of the Legion of Honour be awarded to the Séguin brothers, the engineers behind the Gnôme engine, the superb machine which has enabled Leblanc, Aubrun and Legagneux to complete the Eastern Circuit, Paulhan to win the London to Manchester race, and Moisant to fly from Paris to England.

The Séguin brothers have worked for the glory of our nation and fully deserve such recognition. The government looks likely to pin the cross of honour on the chests of the Séguin brothers along with Leblanc and Aubrun.

La Presse is delighted at the prospect of such a thouroughly deserved distinction being awarded to these outstanding engineers.
