Context: The French Revolutionary Wars were a series of sweeping military conflicts, lasting from 1792 until 1802, resulting from the French Revolution.  They pitted the French First Republic against Britain, Austria and several other monarchies.  They are divided in two periods: the War of the First Coalition (1792–97) and the War of the Second Coalition (1798–1802).  Initially confined to Europe, the fighting gradually assumed a global dimension.  After a decade of constant warfare and aggressive diplomacy, France had conquered a wide array of territories, from the Italian Peninsula and the Low Countries in Europe to the Louisiana Territory in North America.  French success in these conflicts ensured the spread of revolutionary principles over much of Europe. Pierre Hugues Victoire Merle (26 August 1766 – 5 December 1830) was a French general during the First French Empire of Napoleon.  He joined the French army as a private in 1781 but after the French Revolution, the pace of promotion quickened.  He was appointed a general officer in 1794 for distinguishing himself during the War of the Pyrenees.  After leading a brigade at Austerlitz in December 1805, he was promoted again.  His division was in the first wave of the 1808 invasion of Spain, which precipitated the Peninsular War.  In Spain, he led his division at Medina de Rioseco, Corunna, First and Second Porto, Bussaco, Sabugal, and Fuentes de Onoro.  After being sent home from Spain, Merle was assigned to lead a division in the French invasion of Russia.  He led his troops at First and Second Polotsk.  He embraced the Bourbon cause in 1814, retired from the army in 1816, and died at Marseilles in 1830.  Merle is one of the names inscribed under the Arc de Triomphe on Column 35.

François Aubry (12 December 1747 – 17 July 1798) was a French soldier who became a member of the National Convention of France and the Council of Five Hundred during the French Revolution.

The Battle of Mainz (29 October 1795) saw a Habsburg Austrian army led by François Sebastien Charles Joseph de Croix, Count of Clerfayt launch a surprise assault against four divisions of the French "Army of Rhin-et-Moselle" directed by François Ignace Schaal.

François Claude Amour, marquis de Bouillé (19 November 1739 – 14 November 1800) was a French general.  After distinguishing himself in the Seven Years' War, he was appointed governor of Guadeloupe in 1768.

Following that war he returned to France, where he held military commands in the country's northeast at the time of the French Revolution.  A committed Royalist, he was a leading conspirator involved in the royal family's failed flight in 1791, whose failure forced de Bouillé into exile.

He died in exile in London, and is mentioned as a hated Royalist in the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise".
