Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau (1725-1807)
The Comte de Rochambeau was a French nobleman and general appointed by King Louis XVI to lend vital assistance to General George Washington during the American War of Independence.
His remarkable tactical and leadership skills were instrumental in achieving victory for the American Patriots at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia (October 19, 1781).
The courage of the French soldiers and sailors who fought alongside the American Patriots during the War of American Independence led to the birth of a new nation – the United States of America.

🇫🇷 Le Chapitre Rochambeau à Tilloloy
ce 26 avril.
🇺🇸 TILLOLOY
Nathaniel Guernsey, great-grandson of Sarah Guernsey, President General of NSDAR (1917-1920), will visit Tilloloy on Friday morning, April 26. His great-grandmother was instrumental in the aid provided by the NSDAR after the destruction of the First World War.
10:30 am: Commemoration of the NSDAR's commitment, followed by a visit to Château de Tilloloy (to be confirmed). Cocktail lunch hosted by the town hall.
The village of Tilloloy was devastated after the First World War. Reconstruction was made possible with the help of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who financed the construction of a water supply system. The mayor of Tilloloy, Count d'Hinnisdäl, declared at the inauguration on August 23, 1921: "We, the survivors of a war that turned the world upside down, will forever praise and exalt the Daughters of the American Revolution, their gracious images forever reflected in the pure water offered to us".
This has been an opportunity for us to renew the Rochambeau Chapter's ties with Tilloloy, and to salute the exceptional help provided by NSDAR. ... See MoreSee Less
