Sapeur Camember was born on 29 February. He is a character in a comic book created in France by Georges Columb in 1896 and had only four birthdays over his career in the French Army.

Every four years, the newspaper, La Bougie du Sapeur, literally the Sapper's Candle, has been published in France on 29 February. The 12^th Edition of the 20-page satirical newspaper, filled with puns, jokes, wordplay, and interviews, both true and false, and saucy notes and comments on the news of the last four years will be published tomorrow.
