Capitaine Pierre-Julien Hamon

 Hello everyone,


Below is my translation of the wounds received by Capitaine of the 1st Battalion Carabiniers of the 7e Legere Pierre-Julien Hamon. His last wound at the combat of Sochocin on 24 December 1806 would abruptly end his 30-year career. On the left is Surgeon-major Lierneur's report on the gunshot wound Hamon received to the right side of his face during his application for a pension in 1807. Even with this devastating wound, Hamon would marry, father a daughter, and live for another 25 years until his death in 1831.
