Henri François Lambert

Henri François Lambert (3 June 1760 – 7 September 1796) was a brigadier general of the French revolutionary army.

Henri François Lambert was born in Haraucourt, Meurthe-et-Moselle (then Duchy of Lorraine), on 3 June 1760 to a humble family.

He was attached to the Army of the North, which he joined soon after the Battle of Jemappes in November, and with whom he served in the Belgian campaign.

The French army crossed the Rhine and took a position on the right bank, near Mannheim, but was forced to recross the river by Austrian troops.

[3] Lambert was conducting a reconnaissance at Menstadt, a small town near Nuremberg, when he was mortally wounded by the explosion of a bomb.
