French Army Officer. Hero of the Seven Years War in America and Knight of the Royal and Military Order of Saint-Louis. Born in 1722 in the Saint-Eustache parish in Paris (France), he was the son of Jean-baptiste Ange of Marillac, commanding officer of the Regiment of Languedoc. Naturally, he embraced the military career. He began as second-lieutenant on May 10, 1741, then continued as ensign on June 21, 1742 and Lieutenant on February 11, 1743. He was promoted Captain of a company of riflemen with the Regiment of Languedoc on November 13, 1746. Seriously wounded at the Battle of Carillon on July 8, 1758, he got out of the hospital after a few months of convalescence. He was again wounded on the Plains of Abraham, this time mortally, and he died on October 2, 1759. He is buried in the cemetery of the General Hospital of Quebec from which a part, called "Cemetery of the Heroes", became in 2001 the Memorial of the War of Seven-Years. (bio by: Guy Gagnon)
