France - unique - canon portatif de campagne - Matchlock - Cannon
Cannon made by a bell-founder for the storming of the Bastille, giving it its name, ‘Le Clément’, also used as a portable field gun on mule and horseback during the Napoleonic campaigns and then fired its last shots during the carnivals of Jargeau (45) , established by my grandfather in 1949 after the war. This Carnival still endures. It was, at its height, the 5th in France, founded by Raymond Deschamps Fleury. Our family landed at the port of La Rochelle with 1334 Scots, and that year, we helped to drive the English out of France, in 1428, alongside Philippe Le Bâtard, since Jeanne D'Arc, is no more than a pure invention of myth-makers and historians. Master Lebault Santurenne Deschamps Fleury.
