Conference by Mr. BRINCOURT Jean
Theme: "Auguste Henri Brincourt, Officer in the Conquest of Algeria"

Augustin Henri Brincourt: I am fortunate to have had as a grandfather this brilliant career military man. Henri Brincourt, born June 25, 1823, in Lille and died August 10, 1909, in Paris. A Saint-Cyrien, he served as a second lieutenant from 1843 to 1847 in this new conquest of France that must be pacified and will become Algeria.
His military career is remarkable, and his advancement is extremely rapid.
He will return to Algeria two more times, where he will be wounded eleven times…

Jean Brincourt was born in 1941 in Miliana. He lived in Cherchell, Boufarik, and Algiers until independence. He completed his secondary education at the École Normale d'Alger-Bouzaéa. Jean holds a degree in literature from the University of Aix-en-Provence. He had a banking career at the Banque de l'Union parisienne (which absorbed the Compagnie algérienne) and at Crédit du Nord, where he ended his career as the Director of Commitments at the Saint Denis branch. Upon retirement, he became passionate about history, taking courses in this discipline at the Sorbonne, where he obtained a degree.
