This article appears in Volume V04, Page 287 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOSQUET, PIERRE FRANCOIS JOSEPH (1810-1861) , French
marshal
 , entered the artillery in 1833, and a year later went to
Algeria
 . Here he soon did good service, and made himself remarkable not only for technical skill but the moral qualities indispensable for high command. Becoming captain in 1839, he greatly distinguished himself at the actions of Sidi-Lakhdar and Oued-Melah. He was soon afterwards given the command of a battalion of native tirailleurs, and in 1843 was thanked in general orders for his brilliant
work
  against the Flittahs. In 1845 he became
lieutenant
 -colonel, and in 1847 colonel of a French line
regiment
 . In the following year he was in charge of the Oran
district
 , where his swift suppression of an insurrection won him further promotion to the grade of general of brigade, in whichxank he went through the campaign of Kabulia, receiving a severe wound. In 1853 he returned to France after nineteen years' absence, a general of division. Bosquet was amongst the earliest chosen to serve in the Crimean War, and at the battle of the Alma his division led the French attack. When the Anglo-French troops formed the siege of Sevastopol, Bosquet's corps of two divisions protected them against interruption. His timely intervention at Inkerman (November 5, 1854) secured the victory for the allies. During 1855 Bosquet's corps occupied the right wing of the besieging armies opposite the Mamelon and Malakov. He himself led his corps at the storming of the Mamelon (June 7), and at the grand assault of the 8th of September he was in command of the whole of the storming troops. In the struggle for the Malakov he received another serious wound. At the age of
forty
 -five Bosquet, now one of the foremost soldiers in Europe, became a senator and a
marshal
  of France, but his
health
  was broken, and he lived only a few years longer. He had the grand
cross
  of the Bath, the grand
cross
  of the Legion of Honour, and the Medjidieh of the 1st class.
