Biography

Early life

Louis Joseph Lahure was born on 29 November 1767 in Mons in the Austrian Netherlands.[1][2] He was the son of Nicolas Lahure and Marie-Thérèse du Buisson. He had a brother, Germain Lahure. He studied at the Old University of Leuven.[1]

Career

Lahure served in the Brabant Revolution in 1787.[1] He moved to Lille in France in 1790.[1] He served in the Army of the North under General Nicolas Luckner.[1] He served in the Army of Sambre-et-Meuse.[1]

He became a general.[1] Occupying Holland in January 1795, the French continental army learned that the Dutch navy had been frozen into the ice near Texel Island. Lahure and 128 men simply rode up to it and demanded surrender. No shots were fired and the Dutch fleet was captured.

Lahure became a naturalised French citizen.[1] He was made a Grand Officier of the Legion of Honour and the Order of Leopold.[1] He was also made a Knight of the Order of Saint Louis.[1]

Personal life

Lahure married Anne de Warenghien de Flory in 1800. They had seven children and resided at the Château de Wavrechain-sous-Faulx in northern France.[1]

He died on 24 October 1853.[1]

Legacy

His name is inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.[1] In 1895, Lahure's grandson published his memoirs.[3]
