Abel Douay
Charles Abel Douay (2 March 1809 – 4 August 1870) was a general in the French army during the reign of the Emperor Napoleon III. He commanded troops in numerous French campaigns in Europe and overseas. He was killed in battle at the age of sixty-one, near Wissembourg during the Franco-Prussian War. ==Early life and career== Charles Abel Douay was born in the city of Draguignan on 2 March 1809.〔EB (vol.7, ed.9), p. 583.〕 He became a well-known and well-respected military officer, described roundly as an "able"〔Hooper, p. 89.〕 and "intrepid"〔Williams, p. 150.〕 soldier. He served in Algeria, in the Crimean War, and in Italy in 1859.〔 He was the elder brother of General Félix Charles Douay (1816–1879), who was also a distinguished career officer.〔Zola, p. 62.〕 (Because of their similar names and overlapping careers, the elder Douay is most frequently referred to as "Abel Douay".)〔See: Hooper, Williams, Zola, ''et al''.〕 At the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War, Abel Douay had already settled into his position as president of the military academy at Saint-Cyr.〔Wawro, p. 96–97.〕
