Share your answers in the comments below! • Here we begin! • Charles-Étienne César Gudin de La Sablonnière was a French general who served during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. He was born on February 13, 1768, in Montargis, France, to a noble family. Gudin attended the military school of Brienne, and in October 1782, he joined the King's Guard as a gendarme. In September 1784, he joined the Régiment d'Artois as a sub-lieutenant. Between January 1791 and January 1793, Gudin was stationed in the Saint-Domingue garrison as a lieutenant. • He was appointed to several positions as a general staff officer in the Army of the North, then of the Rhine and Moselle. At the beginning of 1799, he was promoted to brigadier general and was given a command during the Swiss campaign. The following year, he participated in the battles of Stein, Stockach, Messkirch, Memmingen, Höchstädt, and Neuburg. • At the Battle of Auerstädt, Gudin's division was the first major formation to enter the fray and bore the brunt of the fighting, resulting in 40% casualties, including Gudin himself, who was seriously injured. However, despite his injury, he played a crucial role in forcing the town of Custrin to surrender and played an important part in the battles of Pultusk and Eylau. • In recognition of his military achievements, Gudin was appointed as a count of the First French Empire in 1808 and subsequently appointed as governor of the renowned castle of Fontainebleau the following year. • #discoveries #archaeological #archaeologicaldiscoveries
