| 释义 |
Théodore was born in Paris on November 28, 1920.[1] He enlisted in the Free French Forces in London in July 1940 following the fall of France.[1] Théodore was assigned to the artillery and sent to battles in Dakar, French West Africa (present-day Senegal), Eritrea and the French Mandate of Syria and the Lebanon.[1] Théodore was sent to Libya as part of 1st Free French Brigade under the command of General Marie-Pierre Kœnig.[1] There, Théodore was severely wounded at the Battle of Bir Hakeim on June 8, 1942.[1] He lost much of his left leg when he was hit by German shrapnel.[1] He was inducted as a Compagnon de la Libération in September 1942, just months after Bir Hakeim.[1] He was also made a Grand Officier of the Légion d'honneur and received the Croix de guerre.[1] Professionally, Théodore worked as a statistician and inspector general with the INSEE.[1] In 2012, though in failing health, Théodore granted an interview for a France 3 documentary on the Battle of Bir Hakeim. The film aired on France 3 on June 6, 2012, just days before his death.[1] Gérard Théodore died on June 10, 2012, in Paris at the age of 91.[1] His death left just twenty-six living Compagnon de la Libération left, out of the original 1,038 recipients.[1] Théodore died just two days after the passing of another Compagnon, former government minister Robert Galley.[1][2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 {{cite news|first=|last=|title= Décès de Gérard Théodore, compagnon de la Libération, artilleur à Bir Hakeim |url=http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2012/06/10/deces-de-gerard-theodore-compagnon-de-la-liberation-artilleur-a-bir-hakeim_1715860_3224.html|work=Le Monde |publisher=|date=2012-06-10 |accessdate=2012-06-27}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Theodore, Gerard}}2. ^{{cite news|first=|last=|title= Décès de Robert Galley, ancien ministre et figure du gaullisme |url=http://www.lemonde.fr/disparitions/article/2012/06/08/deces-de-robert-galley-ancien-ministre-et-figure-du-gaullisme_1715360_3382.html|work=Le Monde |publisher=|date=2012-06-08 |accessdate=2012-06-27}} 8 : 1920 births|2012 deaths|French statisticians|Companions of the Liberation|Free French military personnel of World War II|Grand Officiers of the Légion d'honneur|Grand Officers of the National Order of Merit (France)|Scientists from Paris |
