The victim's minor children are also eligible to be adopted by the nation. When, for whatever reason, the words “Death for France” could not be entered on the death certificate at the time it was drawn up, it is added. subsequently as soon as the circumstances and necessary elements of justification permit.

There is nothing to prevent the persons concerned from benefiting from the attribution of the designation “Death for France” in the event that they meet the required conditions. recalled above.
