GRIMOARD, PHILIPPE HENRI, COMTE DE (1753-1815) , French soldier and military writer, 'entered the royal army at
the age of sixteen, and in' 1775 published his Essai theorique et practique sur les batailles. Shortly afterwards Louis XVI.
placed him in his own military , cabinet and employed him especially in connexion with schemes of army reform. ' By the' year of the Revolution he had become one of Louis's most valued counsellors, in political as well as military matters, and was marked out, though only a colonel, as the next Minister of War. " In '791
Grimoard
  was entrusted with the preparation of the
scheme
  of defence for France, which proved two years
later of
great
  assistance to the Committee of Public Safety. The events of 1792 put an end to his military career; and the
remainder
  of his
life
  was spent in writing military books.

Turenne
