ccj Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Is there a reference on the internet that gives bios of French Generals in ww1? What about books?
Gunner 1 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 A good source (but not on the Internet) is Who's Who in France which should be available in most university libraries. Wikipedia has bios of many of the better known French generals as does http://worldatwar.net/biography/
ccj Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks, I was really hoping for WW1 generals
Stuka f Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I have asked French collegues, but no answer so far....
francoismln Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Hello, You will find about 7000 French generals biographies, from 2nd Empire to WWII, on this website: http://www.ecole-superieure-de-guerre.fr/. Regards. Francois
Steen Ammentorp Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi, The two volumes of "Dictionaire des Généraux et Amiraux Français de la Grande Guerre (1914-1918)" by Gérard Géhin should do the trick, but see my comments here: http://www.librarything.com/work/6617632/reviews/37249829
ccj Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Anyone know where both volumes can be found? I have yet to be that lucky. Edited February 28, 2016 by ccj Too many helmets
francoismln Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Hello, You will find a bio of general Valentin here : http://www.ecole-superieure-de-guerre.fr/joseph-bernard-valentin.html Best regards. Francois
ccj Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Thank you Francois. I can see you have done a lot of t of research. I wish I were more fluent in French.
