He was also known as Jean-Paul, Marquis d'Angosse. During the Revolution: Jean-Paul Dangosse.He first followed in his father's footsteps by choosing a career in arms. In 1752, he entered the first company of the king's musketeers. In 1754, he transferred to the King's Infantry Regiment, with which he took part in the Seven Years' War, and in particular in the battles of Hastenbeck (1757) and the Battle of Minden (1759). He rose to the ranks of second lieutenant, lieutenant, cavalry camp master (1768), colonel (1773) and finally camp marshal (1784). Jean-Paul d'Angosse, who was in delicate health, seems to have stayed away from the battlefields for most of his military career. In 1780, he did not rejoin his regiment, the Cambrésis regiment, which had left for America.Louis Joseph de Bourbon (9 August 1736 – 13 May 1818) was Prince of Condé from 1740 to his death. A member of the House of Bourbon, he held the prestigious rank of Prince du Sang.Philippe Henri, Marquis de Ségur (20 January 1724 – 3 October 1801) was a grandson of Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, nobleman, Marshal of France, and Secretary of State for War under Louis XV and later Louis XVI. The Régiment de Cambrésis was an infantry regiment of the French Royal Army which was formed in 1684 and disbanded following the reduction of the army towards the end of the Seven Years' War. The regiment was then reformed in 1776 and served in the American Revolutionary War and War of the First Coalition before amalgamating with two volunteer battalions to form a new demi-brigade. The regiment's successor, the 20éme Régiment d'Infanterie would continue to serve in the modern French Army until 1984 when its traditions were transferred to the Camp de La Courtine, which continues to maintain the traditions of the regiment.
