"Military service in France during the nineteenth century removed many young men from their own localities for long periods. The widely accepted claim that few conscripts returned home after completing their period of service is based on little evidence. The paper examines the conscription classes of 1856 and 1891 in two cantons in the departement of Loir-et-Cher. In those cases, there was not a significant relationship between conscription and migration, nor between literacy and migration. Instead, migration of youths in their twenties was linked partly to prior experiences of migration but principally to their occupations."

19 世纪法国的兵役和移民：来自卢瓦尔埃切尔省的一些证据

“19 世纪法国的兵役使许多年轻人长期离开自己的地方。被广泛接受的关于服役期满后很少有应征者返回家园的说法是基于很少的证据。该论文考察了 1856 年的征兵等级和 1891 年在 Loir-et-Cher 省的两个州。在这些情况下，征兵和移民之间没有显着关系，扫盲和移民之间也没有显着关系。相反，20 多岁的年轻人的移民部分与以前的经历有关移民，但主要是他们的职业。”
