I believe a very similar slogan was used by the Catholic and Royal Army (of the Vendee) fighting the French Revolutionaries: "If I advance, follow me; if I am killed, avenge me; if I retreat, shoot me."

Viva Cristo Rey!

Thank you, Incorrigible.

Si je recule, tuez moi; si j'avance, suivez
moi; si je meurs, vengez moi!

We lived quite a few years in the Vendee.

The martyrs of the Vendee and the Cristeros are kindred. We are deeply touched by their sacrifice.
