Fantastic action. Very much the historic illustration. I would imagine he earned that nickname and had more than a few drinks offered him.

"I would imagine he earned that nickname and had more than a few drinks offered him." Very true, things were not going well for France at that time and Navarre's exploits above the trenches were a source of pride for the common soldiers living in the dismal muddy trenches below.
