-Debout Les Gars (Wake up boys) is a French royalist song written in 1899 by French-Breton singer Théodore Botrel. The song tells of the counter revolutionary uprisings that happened in 1793 in various provinces of France to oppose the republican regime in Paris. While unsuccessful, there uprisings took a heavy toll on the republican armies and the heroism of the outnumbered and mostly untrained and unde equipped monarchists was cherished for some time in the provinces opposed to the revolution.

-In the paintings are warriors from The War in the Vendée (1793 – 1796).
