Enlisted in the royal army in 1787, his competence and courage quickly propelled him up the military hierarchy during the French Revolutionary Wars, rising from a junior officer to a brigadier general in just four years. However, he faced troubles with the revolutionary authorities due to his penchant for looting. [...]

** Claude Jacques LECOURBE, born on February 22, 1759, in Besançon (Doubs), and died on October 22, 1815, in Belfort (Territoire de Belfort), was a French general of the Revolution and the Empire. [...]
Appointed division general on February 5, 1799, he attacked the Russian troops of Generalfeldmarschall Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov at the Devil's Bridge, in the gorges of the Saint-Gothard massif, and facilitated André Masséna's victory in Zurich on September 25 and 26, 1799. Lecourbe continued to excel in the following campaigns, particularly during the Swiss campaign in 1799, showcasing the talents that placed him among the most skilled generals of the time.
