Pierre François Bauduin (25 January 1768 – 18 June 1815) was a French general during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Bauduin, who served in the Russian and Italian campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars, commanded a brigade in Jérôme Bonaparte's division at the Battle of Waterloo, where he would die at Hougoumont.

Bauduin served in the French Revolutionary and Imperial armies for most of his career in the military, although he served in the French Imperial Navy from 1805 to 1807. During his time in the army, he became a Baron of the Empire in 1810 and received the Order of Saint Louis in 1814.

Military career

Bauduin joined the French Army on September 11 of 1792 as a second lieutenant. Throughout his career, he was promoted through the ranks of lieutenant, capitaine, chef de bataillon, colonel, and finally brigadier general in the years 1795, 1796, 1800, 1809, and 1813, respectively. On 22 October 1810, he was made a Baron of the Empire. He was made a member of the Legion of Honour in 1804, promoted to officer in 1809, and eventually became commander in 1812. From 1805 to 1807, he temporarily served in the French Navy under Pierre-Charles Villeneuve.

On August 11, 1813, Bauduin assumed command of the Pyrenees-Orientales, a department in Occitania. He fought in numerous land engagements during his career. These were the 1793 Siege of Toulon against the Royalists, English, and Spanish during the War of the First Coalition; the 1800 Battle of Montebello and Battle of Marengo against the Austrians during the War of the Second Coalition; the 1809 Battle of Aspern-Essling against the Austrians during the War of the Fifth Coalition; and the narrowly won 1812 Battle of Borodino against the Russian Empire during the Russian campaign.

Other battles he was involved in include the victorious 1813 battles of Bautzen and Lützen, fought against the Russian Empire and Prussia during the War of the Sixth Coalition. He was injured by bullet wounds several times, particularly in his left thigh at Marengo, and in his right arm at Borodino. He also served in several divisions and armies, like the Grande Armée (including the 59th Line Infantry Regiment, 118th, 32nd, and 16th Line Demi-Brigades, 21st Infantry Division of the VI Corps, and 7th Provisional Division of the Young Guard Infantry) and the Army of Germany.

Death

Bauduin's commemorative plaque at Hougoumont

After Napoleon's abdication in 1814, Bauduin received the Order of Saint Louis from the ruling Bourbon dynasty and was retained in the army. During the Hundred Days, Bauduin returned to Napoleon's service. He commanded the 1st Brigade in Jérôme Bonaparte's division (6th) of the II Corps during the Waterloo Campaign, fighting at the Battle of Quatre Bras in modern-day Belgium on 16 June 1815.

By the time the Battle of Waterloo began, Bauduin was in control of the 1st Light and 3rd Line Infantry, both of which were very engrossed in the fighting. He was killed at Waterloo on 18 June 1815 during combat at Hougoumont in modern Belgium. He was one of the first casualties, struck by musket fire from the windows of a gardener's house after he and his allies passed through an oak wooden gate. He was on a horse. This event took place sometime around 11:30 A.M, when an artillery battle was ensuing, and Jérôme and Bauduin were leading their soldiers through a forest. In 1978, a plaque was erected on the wall in front of which he was shot.
