He also served as aide-de-camp to several members of the Grand Ducal Family throughout his career and chamberlain of the Grand Ducal court. BiographyÉmile Speller was born on 7 October 1875 in Niederanven. On 1 June 1902 he began his service with the Grand Ducal Court, being appointed as an aide by Adolphe, Grand Duke of Luxembourg. He subsequently served as aide-de-camp to Grand Duke William, Grand Duchess regent Marie Anna, Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde, and Grand Duchess Charlotte.[1] On 12 January 1927, he was promoted to the rank of captain.[1] On 25 February 1937, Speller was appointed Major-Commandant of the Corps des Gendarmes et Volontaires.[2] On 30 April 1937, he was appointed via ministerial order to be chairman of the supervisory commission on forestry education.[3] On 2 February 1938, he was appointed to the High Military Court of Luxembourg.[4] Major Speller reorganized Luxembourg's troops on 24 February 1939. He still served as the force's commander during the German invasion of Luxembourg in 1940.{{#tag:ref|The Corps des Gendarmes et Volontaires was under the ceremonial command of Prince Felix, but actual control of the unit rested with Speller.{{sfn|Thomas|2014|p=15}}|group=Note}} Most of the soldiers did not partake in the fighting, as only those who volunteered for guard duty were stationed along the border. The rest remained in their barracks, leaving the defence of the country to the Grand Ducal Gendarmerie. Total casualties amounted to six gendarmes and one soldier wounded. Twenty-two soldiers (six officers and 16 non-commissioned officers) and 54 gendarmes were captured.[5] After the invasion Speller was briefly incarcerated by the Gestapo. He was released but monitored closely by them throughout the rest of the occupation.[1] On 3 March 1945, the returned and reformed Luxembourg government appointed Speller to the 1945 Pension Board for the Army. [6] On 7 October, the government retroactively recognized Speller's resignation, effective exactly five years previously. On 9 August 1946 he was granted the title of honorary colonel.[7]Speller continued his service to the government as the chamberlain of the Grand Ducal Court.{{sfn|The Diplomatic Year Book|1951|p=472}} He died at his home in Luxembourg City on 17 January 1952 following a long illness.[8] Notes1. ^{{cite book| date = 15 January 1927| title = Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg.| url = http://www.legilux.public.lu/leg/a/archives/1927/0002/a002.pdf| language = French| page = 16| publisher = Service central de législation}}{{dead link|date=May 2018}} 2. ^{{cite book| date = 27 February 1937| title = Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg.| url = http://www.legilux.public.lu/leg/a/archives/1937/0014/a014.pdf| language = French| page = 122| publisher = Service central de législation}}{{dead link|date=May 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news| title = Avis. — Enseignement forestier.| newspaper = Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg| location = Luxembourg| page = 322| language = French| issue = 35| date = 8 May 1937| url = http://data.legilux.public.lu/file/eli-etat-leg-memorial-1937-35-fr-pdf.pdf}} 4. ^{{cite news| title = Avis. — Haute Cour Militaire.| newspaper = Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg| location = Luxembourg| page = 167| language = French| issue = 12| date = 19 February 1938| url =http://data.legilux.public.lu/file/eli-etat-leg-memorial-1938-12-fr-pdf.pdf}} 5. ^{{cite news| title = Inauguration du Monument érigé à la Mémoire des Morts de la Force Armée de la guerre de 1940-1945| newspaper = Grand Duché de Luxembourg Ministére D'État Bulletin D'Information |issue= 10 |volume= 4| location = Luxembourg| page = 147| language = French| publisher = Service information et presse| date = 31 October 1948| url = https://www.gouvernement.lu/1823469/BID_1948_10.pdf}} 6. ^{{cite news| title = Avis. — Commission des pensions. | newspaper = Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg| issue= 14| location = Luxembourg| pages = 123| language = French| date = 24 March 1945| url = http://data.legilux.public.lu/file/eli-etat-leg-memorial-1945-14-fr-pdf.pdf}} 7. ^{{cite news| title = Avis. — Armée.| newspaper = Mémorial du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg| location = Luxembourg| page = 780| language = French| date = 24 October 1946| issue= 49| url = http://data.legilux.public.lu/file/eli-etat-leg-memorial-1946-49-fr-pdf.pdf}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite news| title = Décès du Colonel E.
