description: "Charles Jean Clément Piroth was a French artillery officer and World War II veteran. He served three tours in Vietnam during the First Indochina War. Piroth commanded the artillery during the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ. He was bold and optimistic before hostilities erupted, exulting: \"I've got more guns than I need.\" After failures by his artillery batteries to provide adequate support, he committed suicide in his bunker."
