A detailed profile of Angelique Marie Joseph Duchentin Brulon, the only female soldier housed at the Hotel des Invalides. It recounts her early life as a dynastic soldier, seven years of service, wounds at Corsica and Calvi, leadership of 60 women, and her later recognition by Napoleon and Louis XVIII for valor and merit.
