See also: JOUBERT, See also:BARTHELEMY See also:CATHERINE (1769–1799) , See also:French See also:general, the son of an See also:advocate, was See also:born at See also:Pont de See also:Vaux (See also:Ain) on the 14th of See also:April 1769. In 1784 he ran away from school to enlist in the See also:artillery, but was brought back and sent to study See also:law at See also:Lyons and See also:Dijon. In 1791 he joined the See also:volunteers of the Ain, and was elected by his comrades successively See also:corporal and sergeant. In See also:January 1792 he became sub-See also:lieutenant, and in See also:November lieutenant, having in the meantime made his first See also:campaign with the See also:army of See also:Italy. In 1793 he distinguished himself by the brilliant See also:defence of a See also:redoubt at the See also:Col di Tenda, with only See also:thirty men against a See also:battalion of the enemy. Wounded and made prisoner in this affair, Joubert was released on See also:parole by the See also:Austrian See also:commander-in-See also:chief, Devins, soon afterwards. In 1794 he was again actively engaged, and in 1795 he rendered such conspicuous service as to be made general of See also:brigade. In the campaign of 1796 the See also:young general commanded a brigade under See also:Augereau, and soon attracted the See also:special See also:attention of See also:Bonaparte, who caused him to be made a general of See also:division in See also:December, and repeatedly selected him for the command of important detachments. Thus he was in See also:charge of the retaining force at the See also:battle of Rivoli, and in the campaign of 1799
(invasion of See also:Austria) he commanded the detached See also:left wing of Bonaparte's army in See also:Tirol, and fought his way through the mountains to rejoin his chief in See also:Styria. He subsequently held various commands in See also:- HOLLAND
- HOLLAND, CHARLES (1733–1769)
- HOLLAND, COUNTY AND PROVINCE OF
- HOLLAND, HENRY FOX, 1ST BARON (1705–1774)
- HOLLAND, HENRY RICH, 1ST EARL OF (1S9o-,649)
- HOLLAND, HENRY RICHARD VASSALL FOX, 3RD
- HOLLAND, JOSIAH GILBERT (1819-1881)
- HOLLAND, PHILEMON (1552-1637)
- HOLLAND, RICHARD, or RICHARD DE HOLANDE (fl. 1450)
- HOLLAND, SIR HENRY, BART
Holland, on the See also:Rhine and in Italy, where up to January 1999 he commanded in chief. Resigning the See also:post in consequence of a dispute with the See also:civil authorities, Joubert returned to See also:France and married (See also:June) Mlle de See also:Montholon. But he was almost immediately summoned to the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)
- FIELD, CYRUS WEST (1819-1892)
- FIELD, DAVID DUDLEY (18o5-1894)
- FIELD, EUGENE (1850-1895)
- FIELD, FREDERICK (18o1—1885)
- FIELD, HENRY MARTYN (1822-1907)
- FIELD, JOHN (1782—1837)
- FIELD, MARSHALL (183 1906)

- FIELD, WILLIAM VENTRIS FIELD, BARON (1813-1907)
field again. He took over the command in Italy from See also: Moreau about the See also:middle of See also:July, but he persuaded his predecessor to remain at the front and was largely guided by his See also:advice. The odds against the French troops in the disastrous campaign of 1799 (see FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY See also:WARS) were too heavy. Joubert and Moreau were quickly compelled to give battle by their See also:great antagonist Suvorov. The battle of Novi was disastrous to the French arms, not merely because it was a defeat, but above all because Joubert himself was amongst the first to fall (Aug. 15, 1799). Joubert died before it could be shown whether his See also:genius was of the first See also:rank, but he was at any See also:rate marked out as a future great See also:captain by the greatest captain of all ages, and his countrymen intuitively associated him with See also:Hoche and Marceau as a great See also:leader whose See also:early See also:death disappointed their highest hopes. After the battle his remains were brought to See also:Toulon and buried in Fort La Malgue, and the revolutionary See also:government paid See also:tribute to his memory by a ceremony of public See also:mourning (See also:Sept. 16). A See also:monument to Joubert at Bourg was razed by See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
