CareerAfter studies at the École Polytechnique, Le Brethon joined the French Navy, rising to midshipman in 1855. He served on Persévérante and on Lavoisier before rising to Ensign on 9 October 1857.[1] He took part in the Italian unification on Tempête in 1859 before transferring on the frigate Forte the next year. He distinguished himself during the Battle of Shanghai while leading a landing party, and was awarded command of Confucius.[1] Promoted to Lieutenant on 10 May 1862, Le Brethon was tasked to instruct locally recruited troops, leading to the training of the Ever Victorious Army.[2] From October, he commanded a mixed troop of French and Chinese soldiers fighting the Taiping Rebellion.[1] On 17 January 1863, he was killed at Shaoxing by the explosion of an artillery piece.[3] Posthumously promoted to general in the Chinese Army, he was buried at Kangpo.[1] The gunboat Aigrette was renamed to Le Brethon in his honour.
