Charles de Gaulle was Wounded in the World War 1

In the early 1900s, Charles de Gaulle, who was over six feet tall, was the ideal soldier. He enlisted as a French army cadet at the St. Cyr Military Academy in 1909, and in 1910, he joined the Arras-based 33rd Infantry Regiment of the French Army. De Gaulle was hurt while attempting to cross the Dinant Bridge at the outbreak of the First World War when he was a lieutenant. He sustained another wound in 1915, perhaps during one of the clashes with Artois or Champagne. After suffering injuries during intense combat near the village of Duoaumont during the Battle of Verdun, he was eventually detained as a Captain.

He attempted several efforts to flee, and as you would have predicted, he spent a lot of time in isolation. His 33rd Infantry Regiment, one of the strongest fighting groups in France, was sent into battle against German advancing units at Dinant as soon as the First World War broke out in 1914. Charles De Gaulle was a brave soldier who attained the rank of army captain. He was injured in 1916 and taken prisoner by German troops.
