French officer and hero of the Seven Years War in America. Knight of the Royal and Military Order of Saint-Louis. Born in 1717 in Lavaur (France). After having served in the infantry with the Regiment of Condé, he arrived in New France in 1749 with his uncle, Governor Taffanel de la Jonquière. His first assignment was to be captain of the guards of the governor. He was promoted, in 1751, captain of a company of riflemen in the Compagnies Franches de la Marine. For his loyal services, he received the Cross of Saint-Louis on January 1, 1759. He was mortally wounded by the English artillery in a trench under the walls of Quebec, on April 29, 1760, at the beginning of the siege of that city. He was buried the same day 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 Seven Years War.
