A son of his , who is in the army , had offered to him the Cross of the Legion of Honour for his gallant conduct at the capture of Sebastopol ; but he refused to accept it while his father remained in prison , stating that the release of hia parent < was all the reward he d « - sired . The Emperor , on hoaring thie , ordered the release of the father and the- decoration of the son with the Cross of Honour .
