La Hoche

La Hoche (1768-1797) was a French general, born near Versailles. He rose from the ranks to the command of the army of the Moselle. He drove the Austrians out of Alsace, and suppressed the rising in and pacified La Vendée. While yet a sergeant bore a hand conspicuously at the overturn of the Bastille.
