Evidence

Almost alone among the grands colons to remain in Algeria after independence, Jacques Chevallier, the liberal ex-mayor of Algiers, became vice-president of the Algiers Chamber of Commerce from 1963 to 1966, greatly respected by the Algerians and a token that, had they been genuinely prepared to co-operate and share responsibility with the Muslims, some future for the Europeans could have existed. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1672 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
