Yann Goulet

His artistic career began at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he studied art and architecture and learned sculpture with Auguste Rodin's assistant, Charles Despiau.

His works in France include bas-reliefs shown at the Exposition International de Paris (1938), and the monument to the youth of the French empire in Lille (1939).

Goulet's involvement in Breton nationalism led to accusations that he had orchestrated the destruction of the Monument to the Breton-Angevin Federation at Pontivy on 18 December 1938 by Gwenn ha du, the nationalist terrorist group.

He participated in the beginning of World War II fighting for France, and was captured by the Germans on 11 June 1940 while blowing up a bridge on the Aisne with friends from a French corps.

The promotion of Bagadou Stourm officers was named "Patrick Pearse" to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland.
