WASHINGTON
TO
His EXCELLENCY, JULES J. JUSSEBAND,
Ambassador of France to the United States,
who for a score of years has fostered and cemented
the friendship between these Republics,
THIS WORK —
A Roll of Honor for the United States
and a Record of Appreciation from France —
is affectionately dedicated
by the compiler.
URING the Revolution in France, the exist-
ence of outward marks of distinction was
forgotten. Nobility was suppressed by the
decrees of June 19, 1790, but provision was
made for bestowing some token upon all who had
assisted in the overthrow of the Bastile. The diffi-
culties that attended the conferring of the "brevet"
were so great that it was realized that safety lay
in the abolition of all decorations. This was
accomplished by the laws of July 30, 1791, and July
28, 1793.
The first suggestion of a "national order which
should cause all distinctions of birth to be forgotten"
was made on December 15, 1791, when it was pro-
posed to confer some sort of honor upon soldiers
for gallant conduct. This soon bore fruit in special
acts of the convention providing crowns of laurel
or of oak for heroes of battle and even a proposition
to create rules for the "recognition of merit and
reward therefor."
During the First Consulate, the Senate prepared
a list of "notables" or "eligibles" who could be called
upon for any service the government might demand.
This list did not meet with the approval of Napoleon,
and, it is believed, he sought to counteract the polit-
ical complexion of it by preparing an independent
list to which should be given the name "Legion
d'Honneur."
The first intimation of this purpose was made
early in May, 1802. The Act was placed before the
Council of State for discussion on May 4, was passed
on to the "Corps legislatif" on May 14 without hav-
ing received the sanction of the Council and after
five hours' discussion it was adopted by the "Corps
10 AMERICAN LEGIONNAIRES
legislatif ' on May 19, the "Tribunal" in the mean-
time having acted favorably upon the proposition.
It was finally promulgated as a law on June 3.
Up to this time, no mention had been made of a
visible and outward sign of membership in the Legion.
A simple decree on July 10, 1803, prescribed the shape
and colors of the insignia. This was changed in
1816, 1830, 1851, 1852 and 1870.
Napoleon decreed March 1, 1808, that all members
of the Legion should have the title of Chevalier and
that the title should be transmitted from father to
son.
The first ceremony of investiture was held on July
14, 1804.
The promises regarding equality and heredity had
been violated in the final ordinances of the Legion
of Honor. Consequently the bestowal of the insignia
was met with varying degrees of approval. Marshal
Augerau refused to come forward when his name
was called, Lemercier and Truguet returned their
diplomas, Rochambeau and LaFayette refused to
accept the honor and others sought to conceal the
"emblem of the vanity of a courtier." Some persons,
out of sympathy with the new regime, sought to bring
this decoration into ridicule by creating mock deco-
rations which they gave to the rabble to wear. But
such care had been exercised in the selection of per-
sons for admission into the Legion that at the second
distribution there were no refusals.
The original purpose of the Order can best be
learned from Napoleon's own words : "I challenge
anyone to show me a republic, ancient or modern,
in which there were no distinctions. You may call
them playthings, but men are led by playthings. I
should not say this, perhaps, in the Council Cham-
ber, but in the presence of men of wisdom, such
things should be spoken. I do not believe that the
French people love liberty and equality ; the French
have not been changed by ten years of revolution ;
they are Gauls as of old — proud and light-hearted,
OF FRANCE 11
having one pre-eminent virtue — honor. This virtue
should be nourished and upon it some distinction
should be conferred. You see how our people pros-
trate themselves before foreign decorations ; some
wear them, while others look upon this with sur-
prise. Voltaire has called our soldiers Alexanders at
five sous a, day. He was right. Do you suppose that
men can be induced to go to war by analytical rea-
soning? Never! It might be efficacious for the
scholar in his study. To the soldier must be offered
glory, honor, reward. If honors are given to sol-
diers only, the nation would cease to exist. If, on
the other hand, all professions should be included,
the soldier not knowing how to read or write, would
be proud to have as a reward for the blood he shed
the same decoration that is worn by men of great
scholarship, while the latter, on their part, would
esteem more highly the recompense for their labors
when they see it is the reward of bravery. Some
officers may object to seeing their decorations worn
by a priest, judge, author, artist or a simple soldier.
But why? Is courage not always courage, and is
blood not always blood?"
And although the great emperor forgot his earlier
plea for democracy in honors and instituted orders
that were intensely aristocratic, the Legion d'Hon-
neur which he called into existence is now by far
the most democratic institution amongst men. No
antecedent qualifications are demanded ; the single
condition that must be met is superiority. Superior
service ; superior talent ; superior achievements. No
limit is placed on the character of service, the sort
of talent nor the nature of the achievements beyond
the requirement that, in some field they count for
the betterment of France, the welfare of a people
or the uplift of mankind.
Coming into existence amidst the clamors for equal-
ity it greets all men equal in the contest for its
acquisition and, having celebrated its centennial at
the same time when men, by their own efforts have
12 AMERICAN LEGIONNAIRES
been set apart in classes, it can most fittingly reward
one with a cross and another with the more modest
knot of ribbon.
Looking over this institution and contemplating
the men who have worn with pardonable pride "the
splash of red," the least that each "Legionnaire" can
do is to endeavor to maintain the prestige of the
Order by becoming more worthy of the membership
he enjoys.
This compilation is made in the earnest desire that
each person named herein as he notes his colleagues
and considers the services or achievements that
earned this distinction will realize more fully the
great honor that has been conferred upon him and
see how fully and promptly France shows her esteem
and appreciation.
* * * *
This Directory includes the names of Legionnaires
of France who were living at the time the manu-
script went to the printer. An exception, however,
was made in the case of officers decorated for serv-
ices during the War who succumbed to wounds
received in action or died subsequently, weakened no
doubt, by strain or exposure incident to their war
duties. The inclusion of their names is intended to
augment, if it be possible, our appreciation of their
supreme sacrifice.
In preparing the material for this work the Com-
piler has been greatly aided by Major William S.
Biddle who furnished the names of Officers of the
U. S. Army who had been decorated and kindly
revised the list to make additions and changes in
addresses. Most helpful assistance in preparing the
sketches was rendered by Mr. Nils G. Radhe,
Research Assistant, National Geographic Society.
