description: "George Henri Anne-Marie Victor, Count de Villebois-Mareuil was a French army officer and writer who served in the Franco-Prussian War, French conquest of Tunisia and Second Boer War. In 1899, he went to Southern Africa as a foreign volunteer to fight for the Boer republics against the British. Villebois-Mareuil was motivated to fight in the war due to his anti-British sentiment stemming from the Fashoda Incident. He was promoted to the rank of major general in Boer service but was killed in action only months after arriving in Southern Africa."
