Funeral Obsequies For General Kleber In Cairo
A detailed account of General Kleber s funeral in Cairo with cannon salutes from the citadel and a grand procession. The body traveled from Efbegyer to the entrenched camp in a leaden coffin on a black velvet car, followed by Menou and various army corps, civil officers, and mourners. An oration by citizen Fouries praised Kleber s conduct, bravery, clemency, and leadership, urging continued French resolve under his successor as Cairo s siege and regional troubles continued.
