Antoine Treuille de Beaulieu : ウィキペディア英語版 | Antoine Treuille de Beaulieu Antoine Hector Thésée Treuille de Beaulieu (7 May 1809 – 24 July 1885) was a French General of the 19th century, who developed the concept of rifled guns in the French Army.〔''A Dictionary of Military History and the Art of War'' by André Corvisier, p.44 ()〕 He studied the subject of rifling between 1840 and 1852.〔(Journal By Royal Society of Arts (Great Britain), p.617 )〕 Following a request by Napoleon III in 1854 to develop such a weapon, the de Beaulieu system was adopted by the French Army. It consisted in cutting six grooves inside the bore of a muzzle-loading cannon, and to use shells equipped with six lugs which would engage the grooves.〔''A Dictionary of Military History and the Art of War'' by André Corvisier, p.45 ()〕 This development was paralleled by that of the Armstrong gun in Great Britain (adopted in 1858 by the British Army).〔 These developments led to the introduction of the La Hitte system in 1858, a fully integrated system of muzzle-loading rifled guns. The Beaulieu 4-pounder rifled field-gun was adopted by the French Army in 1858, where it replaced the canon-obusier de 12, a smoothbore cannon using shells which was much less accurate and shorter-ranged.〔"...the introduction by the French army of the Beaulieu 4-pounder rifled field-gun in 1858: the new artillery, though much more accurate and long-ranged than the smoothbore 'canon-obusier' it replaced (which, incidentally, was the most prevalent artillery piece of the US Civil War), was not suited to firing anti-personnel case-shot (which, in French, is called 'mitraille')." in ''The Mitrailleuse'' by Dr. Patrick Marder (Military History Online )〕 The Beaulieu rifled artillery was first used in Algeria, and then in the Franco-Austrian War in Italy in 1859.〔"Beaulieu rifled artillery was first tentatively used in Algeria but received great acclaim only during the Italian War of 1859." in ''The Bloody Crucible of Courage'' by Brent Nosworthy p.644〕 ==Notes==
