Gunner 1 Posted January 30, 2016 Share 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steen Ammentorp Posted February 9, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
