The rest of the time his military postings – including service in the Crimean War and the Sardinian Campaign (and earning medals for both) – meant he returned home to Charleville only when on leave. He was not at home for his children's births, nor their baptisms. After Isabelle's birth in 1860, Rimbaud never returned to the family home. After their separation, Mme. Rimbaud called herself "Widow Rimbaud".Rimbaud left the army in 1864 and retired to Dijon, where he died 14 years later.
