Camille Laframboise ([ka.miʎa.fʁɑ̃.bwaz]; 31 May 1882 – 8 December 1938) was a French politician and general. He was the most prolific leader of France during the Great War, serving as Grand Marshal of France for ten years between 1928 and his death.
Early life and origins
Laframboise was born on 31 May 1882 in the suburban town of Olivet-Sur-Loire immediately south of the city of Orléans. His father, Henri-Lambert Laframboise, was a financial broker and descendant of the notable New French Laframboise family. Marie-Bennett Mongin, his mother, was originally a native of Lyon and had met Henri-Lambert in Paris during her work as a seamstress.
The clan's origins lay to the southwest of Olivet-sur-Loine in the town of Amboise, once the seat of the French royal court in the pre-Bourbon period. In the early 17th century, the Laframboise family had emigrated to Quebecq and northern New England. Camille's grandfather, Cesar Laframboise (1784–1831), had returned to France during the Augustine Wars as a political refugee.
