He had been a prisoner in the French Guiana penal colony for two years when it emerged that the real criminal was a Major Esterhazy: the high command nevertheless attempted to suppress the facts and used forged documents to strengthen their case.

Alfred Dreyfus in prison, 1895. Dreyfus (c1859-1935) was a French army officer of Jewish extraction wrongly accused of handing secret documents to a German agent. He was court-martialled and disgraced, and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island as a traitor. Although the legal proceedings were irregular, the verdict was widely approved of in French society and the press, where anti-Semitism was rife. The case, which became known as 'l'Affaire Dreyfus' continued to divide France, with the author Emile Zola writing a famous open letter accusing the army of a cover-up. Eventually, in 1906, Dreyfus received a full pardon from the President of France, and he went on to serve with distinction in the French army in the First World War. From 'Le Petit Journal'.
