A fact from Charles-Étienne Gudin de La Sablonnière appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 February 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the names of French generals Raymond-Gaspard de Bonardi de Saint-Sulpice, Charles-Étienne Gudin de La Sablonnière, Jean-Toussaint Arrighi de Casanova, and Frédéric Henri Walther are inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe (pictured) in Paris?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/February.

Instant death or mortally wounded?[edit]

The article states that Gudin died "on the battlefield". However in the BBC article which appeared after his remains were thought to be found during the summer of 2019, states he died three days after the battle from gangrene resulting of the amputation of his leg... (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49508521) As the Battle of Valutino took place on 19 August 1812 and his date of death is 22 August, it looks like the article is incorrect and the BBC is correct. I'll change the article in that direction. -- fdewaele, 29 August 2019, 14:26 CET.
