Charles Antoine Louis Alexis Morand (4 June 1771, Pontarlier or Montbenoit, Doubs - 1835) Comte de l'Empire, was a general of the French army during the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. He fought at many of the most important battles of the time, including Austerlitz, Borodino and Waterloo. ==Early career and French Revolutionary Wars== He intended to be a lawyer and received his right to practice in 1791, but a year later joined the 7th Volunteers as a Captain. He was elected lieutenant colonel in the Army of the Rhine on 5 September 1792 and he fought in numerous battles, including the Battle of Hondschoote (7 September 1793) and the Battle of Wattignies (16 October 1793). He then fought in the Low Countries as a part of General Jourdan's ''Armée la Sambre et Meuse'', and was injured severely in the thigh at Sprimont. After leaving the hospital, Morand joined Bernadotte's 10th division and fought at the Battle of Ourthe (18 September 1794), in the Battle of Aldenhoven (2 October 1794), the Capture of Kreutznach (1 December 1795), at the heights of Koenigstein (26 July 1796) and at the Battle of Teining (22 August 1796). Still with Bernadotte, Morand joined the Army of Italy in January 1797, which then left for Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. In Egypt, he fought in the Battle of the Pyramids as ''Chef de Brigade'' under Louis Desaix. He gained recognition for battles at Girgeh (April 6, 1799), El Ganaim and especially Samanhoud (12 August 1799). After Samanhoud, Morand replaced Friant, who was promoted to temporary division commander, as adjudant general chief of brigade and governor of the province of Girgeh. Morand was promoted to ''Général de Brigade'' on 6 September 1800. Morand returned to France in 1801 and was attached to the camp at Saint-Omer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Antoine Morand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
