March 22, 1946 in Hanoi, during the joint Franco-Vietnamese parade between the National Guard of Vietnam and the French Army. General Leclerc laid flowers at a war memorial dedicated to Vietnamese soldiers (rather Annamites), naturally at the time decked out fully with a giant flag of the new republic, a scene that perhaps Leclerc was too careless to be intentionally captured in this way, considering the political negotiations had not entirely ruled out a military assault to dissolve this government.
