In the exclusive service of France — until death. Born in 1879, died in deportation in 1945, Charles Delestraint is an unjustly obscure figure in French military history. Yet throughout his life, his successive commitments — up to the ultimate sacrifice in the Resistance — earned him a place in the Panthéon in 1989. A graduate of Saint-Cyr, he served as...
