General Boulanger From Breton Roots to French General
A biographical sketch traces Georges-Ernest-Jean-Marie Boulanger from birth in 1837 to his upbringing by English and Breton influences, early schooling in England, hardship at Brighton, and the decisive turn at St Cyr military college where his ambitious, audacious nature began to show. It notes his father a notary, his English mother, and hints at the later recognition of his traits through adversity and discipline.
