Merged material in from Jacques Philippe Leclerc - it seemed silly to have two articles on one person. ... and a lot of material from the fr: page, who I assume have the name correct. Shimgray 22:22, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I moved the page to the name under which he is generally known. David.Monniaux 09:52, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Philippe Leclerc de Hautecloque → Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque – Reason: correct spelling of surname (See comment above, and French language Wikipedia) Kahuzi 14:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Support. His name is spelled with the extra 'c' (Hauteclocque) in Le Petit Larousse Illustré, 2005 edition. EdJohnston 21:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support Nigel Hamilton spells it with the original c in his biography of Montgomery, under whom Leclerc served for a period. --Harlsbottom 00:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support per EdJohnston. --Mathew5000 12:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image mistake

The French general showed here with (from left to right) US general Bradley, US general Eisenhower and British air chief marshal Tedder is not general Leclerc, but is actually general Koenig, the military governor of Paris. The date may be 29 august 1944, during a parade of American troops on the Champs-Elysées avenue in Paris. --Sbene (talk) 19:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


Will someone change this useless picture of general Koenig ?? I guess that for American people, a general with a kepi and a moustache is enough typical of the French to be Leclerc...
