 . He was promoted captain for his services during the disturbances in Reunion in 186869, in the course of which he was wounded. He served as a company
commander
  in the Franco-German War, was taken prisoner at
Sedan
  but escaped, and took
part
  in the campaigns of the Loire and of the
East
 . In 1872 he was sent to West Africa, and. except when on active service in Cochin China (1878) and Tong-King (1883), he remained on duty in
Senegal
  for the next twenty years, taking a prominent
part
  in the operations which brought the countries of the Upper Senegal and Upper Niger under French
rule
 . He led the expeditions against the Boal and Kayor (1889), the Serreres (1890) and the Futa (1891), and from r888 to 1891 was colonel commanding the troops in Senegal. At the close of 1891 he returned to France to command the eighth marine infantry at Toulon. In April 1892 Dodds was selected to command the expeditionary force in
Dahomey
 ; he occupied Abomey, the hostile
capital
 , in November, and in a second campaign (1894) he completed the subjugation of the country. He was then appointed inspector-general of the marine infantry, and after a tour of the French colonies was given the command of the XX.
