[edit] Disputed

I notice that this has a dispute tag on it, but no explanation here of what is disputed. User:Noclador, who added the dispute tag, wrote in his edit summary "tenures in the Army of Ireland and the Army of England??? hard to believe? can someone back this claim up???" I presume that is the statement of the dispute. I am not sure why it was stated as a dispute, rather than a request for citation, and I will attempt to contact him. - Jmabel | Talk 06:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

While I don't have a citation for this, I don't see what is supposed to be odd about this. Both of these would, at that time, have been armies under the control of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. - 06:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Charles Victor Emmanuel Leclerc was French general and he sure did neither serve in the Army of Ireland nor in the Army of England. The simple reason is: France and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland were at war!!! The war began in 1793 and ended at Waterloo in 1815. So a French general would never have gotten a commission as officer in the afro mentioned armies; but he might have served in the unsuccessful French Army military expeditions to Ireland: either the one led by Louis Lazare Hoche in 1796 or the later one led by Jean Joseph Amable Humbert in 1798.

AH. makes more sense (and I didn't even look at Leclerc's dates before responding). Yes, probably right. In that era, the French tended to refer to "Army of …" meaning "expeditionary force to…" - Jmabel | Talk 01:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
