Charles de Gaulle

De Gaulle was promoted to corporal

Apr, 1910
France

In April 1910 he was promoted to corporal. His company commander declined to promote him to sergeant, the usual rank for a potential officer, commenting that the young man clearly felt that nothing less than Constable of France would be good enough for him.
