MARCHAND Jean-Baptiste [Thoissey, 1863 -... - Lot 143 - Varenne Enchères
MARCHAND Jean-Baptiste [Thoissey, 1863 - Paris, 1934], French general, the hero of Fachoda. Autograph letter signed, probably addressed to Clemenceeau. October 27, 1915; 3 pages in-8°. "I have not forgotten the kind lines you honored me with in one of your recent articles [...] in L'Homme enchainé. Marchand regrets that the doctors prevented him from putting his hand "in that of the Master of the thought of balance and will as freely conceived as proudly expressed" during the last passage of Clemenceau "on the front of Champagne, in the middle of the battle" near "the ambulance bed where I had just been deposited".
