Arboireau, Gustave<\/span>, M\u00e9riadec, militaire fran\u00e7ais, n\u00e9 \u00e0 Neuville (Vienne) le 29 mai 1859*, date de d\u00e9c\u00e8s inconnue.<\/p>\r\n

Surveillant de 1\u00e8re<\/sup> classe \u00e0 l\u2019\u00eele du Diable<\/a> \u00e0 partir du 12 mars 1895, il fut charg\u00e9 de la garde de Dreyfus. Consid\u00e9r\u00e9 par ses sup\u00e9rieurs comme un \u00ab excellent agent, s\u00fbr, d\u00e9vou\u00e9, \u00e9nergique pour ce service sp\u00e9cial de la d\u00e9portation \u00bb (lettre de Bouchet<\/a> \u00e0 Gu\u00e9gan<\/a> du 5 ao\u00fbt 1895 ; Archives de l\u2019\u00eele du Diable<\/em>), il demandera fin juillet \u00e0 quitter son service. Dreyfus le regrettera, notant qu\u2019il \u00e9tait \u00ab\u00a0un brave homme, faisant strictement le service qui lui \u00e9tait impos\u00e9, mais loyalement, avec tact et mesure \u00bb (Cinq ann\u00e9es de ma vie<\/em>, p. 131). Il reviendra \u00e0 l\u2019\u00eele du Diable en 1897.
Le 19 juillet 1906, apr\u00e8s la r\u00e9habilitation, Arboireau \u00e9crira \u00e0 Dreyfus<\/a> :<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Permettez-moi de venir me joindre \u00e0 tous les bons r\u00e9publicains, pour vous dire la joie extr\u00eame que j’ai \u00e9prouv\u00e9e en lisant enfin l’arr\u00eat de la Cour de cassation proclamant votre innocence.
Cela ne laissait d’ailleurs aucun doute, car si au moment de cette lamentable affaire il y a eu quelques soup\u00e7ons, il y a longtemps qu’ils sont dissip\u00e9s dans l’esprit des honn\u00eates gens.
Vous devez certainement m’avoir perdu de vue ne m’ayant connu qu’au moment de vos plus grandes souffrances et de bien longues ann\u00e9es se sont \u00e9coul\u00e9es depuis.
Je me suis toujours int\u00e9ress\u00e9 \u00e0 tout ce qui vous concerne et ayant lu en Nlle<\/sup> Cal\u00e9donie o\u00f9 j’\u00e9tais alors, votre livre \u00ab Cinq ans de ma vie \u00bb, j’ai heureux et flatt\u00e9 d’\u00eatre rest\u00e9 dans votre souvenir car vous avez bien voulu me consacrer dans ce livre le passage suivant qui m’a profond\u00e9ment touch\u00e9 :
[il cite le passage pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment donn\u00e9]
Moi aussi je vous ai bien regrett\u00e9 car ne doutant pas de votre innocence, je souffrais de vous voir aussi malheureux et si pers\u00e9cut\u00e9 ; aussi avais-je les larmes aux yeux lorsque je vous voyais vous-m\u00eame tout en pleurs devant les photographies de votre femme et de vos chers enfants.
J’aurais voulu pouvoir soulager vos peines, mais malheureusement une consigne inexorable m’obligeait dans mon devoir de soldat, \u00e0 para\u00eetre indiff\u00e9rent \u00e0 vos douleurs alors que je les partageais.
Membre de la Ligue pour la d\u00e9fense des droits de l’homme<\/a> depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es, j’en ai toujours suivi les bulletins avec int\u00e9r\u00eat, ne doutant pas qu’une justice \u00e9clatante vous \u00e9tait r\u00e9serv\u00e9e.
De retour des Colonies depuis quelques semaines et me trouvant de passage \u00e0 Paris j’aurais \u00e9t\u00e9 heureux d’aller vous serrer la main, mais je n’ai pas os\u00e9 craignant de vous importuner \u00e0 ce moment. Je compte cependant y retourner bient\u00f4t et je serais au comble de mes d\u00e9sirs si vous daigniez m’autoriser \u00e0 aller vous pr\u00e9senter mes hommages.
Je suis avec le plus profond respect
mon commandant
votre d\u00e9vou\u00e9 serviteur<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
