Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILMAINE, CHARLES EDWARD (1751-1799) , French general, was born at Dublin on the 19th of October 1751. At the age of eleven he went with his father, whose surname was Jennings, to France, where he changed his name to Kilmaine, after a
village
  in Mayo. He entered the French army as an officer in a dragoon
regiment
  in 1774, and afterwards served as a volunteer in the Navy (1778), during which period he was engaged in the fighting in
Senegal
 . From 178o to 1783 he took part in the War of American Independence under Rochambeau, rejoining the army on his return to France. In 1791, as a retired captain, he took the civic oath and was recalled to active service, becoming
lieutenant
 -colonel in 1792, and colonel, brigadier-general, and
lieutenant
 -general in 1793. In this last capacity he distinguished himself in the wars on the northern and eastern frontiers. But he became an object of suspicion on account of his foreign
birth
  and his relations with England. He was suspended on the 4th of August 1793, and was not recalled to active service till 1795. He then took part in the Italian campaigns of 1796 and 1797, and was made commandant of Lombardy. He afterwards received the command of the cavalry in Bonaparte's " army of England," of which, during the absence of Desaix, he was temporarily
commander
 -in-
chief
  (1798). He died on the 15th of December 1799
