Victor Auguste, baron Duperré

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victor Auguste Duperré (Born August 4th, 1825 in Paris, Died in 1900) was Commander of the Naval Division of the Western Coasts of Africa, effectively Colonial head of Gabon ("Colony of Gorée and Dependencies") between 1869 to 1870. He later became governor of Cochinchina (1874-77).

He is not to be confused with Admiral Guy-Victor Duperré.
