Pierre François Bauduin (25 January 1768 – 18 June 1815) was a French general during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Bauduin, a soldier having served in the Russian and Italian campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars, was the leading officer of Jérôme Bonaparte's 1st Brigade of the II Corps at the Battle of Waterloo, where he would die at Hougoumont.
Military career
Bauduin joined the French Army on September 11 of 1792, originally as a sous-lieutenant. Throughout his career, he was promoted through the ranks of lieutenant, capitaine, chef de bataillon, colonel, Commander of the Legion of Honor, and finally, Brigadier General, in the years 1795, 1796, 1800, 1809, 1813, and 1813, respectively; in 1810, he was made a Baron of the Empire. From 1805-1807, he temporarily served in the French Navy under Pierre-Charles Villeneuve; other than Waterloo and Quatre-Bras, he fought in numerous land engagements during his career, including the Siege of Toulon, the Battle of Montebello, the Battle of Marengo, the Battle of Aspern-Essling, and the Battle of Borodino. He was injured by bullet wounds several times before, in his left leg at Morengo, and in his right arm at Borodino. He also served in several divisions and armies, including 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, who was fighting in the division of Jérôme Bonaparte's 1st Brigade (II Corps) at the time, was killed in action at Waterloo during combat at Hougoumont; he was one of the first to be killed by musket fire from the windows of a gardener's house after he and his surrounding allies walked 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.
Awards
The Bourbons awarded Bauduin the Royal and Military Order of Saint Louis after giving him a brigade to command, but he remained loyal to Napoleon, fighting in the battles of Quatre-Bras and Waterloo.
