Under the rather transparent code-name of "Soleil bis", General Jouhaud took over as Salan's deputy. Having had the modest sum of 2,000 (old) francs pressed in his hand by Challe, on the night of the surrender Jouhaud had gone into hiding first near Zéralda, then moved steadily westwards. He equipped himself with false papers as "Louis Gerbert, born in Algiers, married in Bône and a widower", shaved his head, grew a bushy moustache, dyed it black, and donned spectacles.

FICTION: The detail of a fugitive creating an elaborate false identity — shaved head, dyed moustache, invented biography — offers rich material for a spy thriller or character study.
