François Jules Georges Danjou (17 June 1862 – 12 May 1926) was a French physician, physiotherapist, military doctor, public health reformer, writer, and vegetarianism activist.

During this period, he became a member of the Decoeur Mission, where he contracted a severe purulent ophthalmia while treating Bambara natives.

[3] Danjou also served in the Second Franco-Dahomean War, where he assembled an extensive ethnographic collection of 341 Dahomey items, including weapons, clothing, votive pottery, jewelry, fetishes, and charms.

[3] After leaving active military service, Danjou qualified as a sanitary physician and began working as a ship's doctor.

He initially served in the trenches of the Argonne, but his desire for greater involvement led to his deployment to the Armée d'Orient.

In Greece, he transformed a marshland camp into a model hospital that became a "garden city", where French soldiers were well cared for under his leadership.

[3] For his service, Danjou was promoted to lieutenant colonel, awarded the Croix de Guerre 1914–1918, and made an Officer of the Legion of Honour.

Despite his struggles, he continued to participate in medical and public health conferences across France, advocating for modernization and reform.
