Croisier, aide de camp. What is the first name of this French officer wounded at Acre and who died of tetanus from his wounds weeks later?

Jonathan,


I only found his rank at that time - capitaine.


I found "capitaine Croisier, Honoré" in 1793 - the only Croisier listed.

Thanks Steve! I see an Honoré Croisier in the Francs du Nord attached to the 12th Chasseurs in 1793. Then nothing after that.

Yes, that is what I found also. Perhaps a relative.

I think it is François Croisier. I see him in the 4e Chasseurs a cheval, but perhaps, by 1798, in the 25e as a chef d'escadron.

I only see the ADC listed as a 'capitaine' or 'lieutenant' in 1798.
