Barthelemy Catherine Joubert (538 words)
Thus he was in charge of the retaining force at the battle of Rivoli, and in the campaign of 1799 (invasion of Austria) he commanded the detached left wing of Bonaparte's army in the Tirol, and fought his way through the mountains to rejoin his chief in Styria.
The battle of Novi[?] was disastrous to the French arms, not merely because it was a defeat, but above all because Joubert himself was amongst the first to fall (August 15, 1799).
After the battle his remains were brought to Toulon and buried in Fort La Malgue, and the revolutionary government paid tribute to his memory by a ceremony of public mourning (16 September 1799).
