The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The scandal began in December 1894 when Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a 35-year-old Alsatian French artillery officer of Jewish descent, was wrongfully convicted of treason for communicating French military secrets to the German Embassy in Paris.
- He was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent overseas to the penal colony on Devil's Island in French Guiana, where he spent the following five years imprisoned in very harsh conditions.
- In 1896, evidence came to light, primarily through the investigations of Lieutenant Colonel Georges Picquart, head of counter-espionage, that identified the real culprit as a French Army major named Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy.
