Hamel was wearing his beautiful green coat, frilled shirt and embroidered black silk hat, which he never wore except on inspection or award days.

He was greatly pained by Berlin's order to teach the German language in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine. He praised the French language and stressed the need for its protection. He did his duty as usual and listened to all the lessons till the end. He was very sad, while the students were busy writing, he sat motionless and looked at each and every object in an attempt to capture the picture of the class in his mind and cherish it in the later phase of his life. He was overwhelmed with emotion and dismissed the school with a hand gesture, after writing "Vive la France" in large letters on the blackboard. These feelings were guided by love for his motherland.
