Lagaillarde identified with a great-grandfather who died on a 1851 barricade

Evidence

But the forebear with whom Lagaillarde liked most to identify himself was his great-grandfather, an obscure deputy and revolutionary called Baudin who had found immortality in the 1851 uprising against Louis-Napoleon. Leaping on top of a barricade and crying “I’ll show you how one dies for twenty-five sous a day,” he had been promptly shot. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 848
