About Moïse Bebel

Lived 1898 – 1940 (aged 42). Moïse Bebel was a French military personnel and school teacher.

Hospice Moïse Jean Louis Victor Gilles Bebel (21 May 1898 – 10 June 1940) was a French Army officer, born in Guadeloupe, who served during the Second World War. He was executed along with his men in a massacre of tirailleurs during the Battle of France.

Life Born in 1898 in Trois-Rivières, Guadeloupe, Bebel aspired to be a soldier from a young age. He graduated from the Saint-Maxient non-commissioned officer school and quickly rose through the ranks, from second lieutenant to captain. The murder of Bebel and his men has been compared to the death of fellow tirailleur Charles N'Tchoréré.

Bebel's remains, as well as those of several other Guadeloupean soldiers, were repatriated to Guadeloupe in 1950, with large numbers of people arriving to honor them. The main square of Trois-Rivières is named after him.
