This article seems to be a slight amplification of part of Franco-Siamese War. Unfortunately, apart from primary accounts written by a British commentator Norman in 1895, who relied on French press accounts, and a French commentator de Pouvourville slightly later (who had detailed information on telegraphic messages), very little has been written about Grosgurin outside the incident surrounding his death, which was significant. The article suffers because it has to reestablish the background of the parent article in order to make any sense. At present it does this only partially. The details present here (e.g. the court case) would be valuable in the main article, so there seems to be no purpose at all in a spin-off article, nor any precedent on the basis of existing historical encyclopedias.
