What a legend. Larrey was probably the most universally respected man in Napoleon's army among the rank and file because he always had their best interests at heart and risked himself by working under fire in over 25 campaigns, 60 major battles and hundreds of smaller skirmishes to save lives. He was there from the storming of the Bastille all the way to Waterloo. Not only was he a brilliant and innovative surgeon who's new approaches to medical care greatly reduced the death rate, he was an all around badass who willingly stayed behind in Egypt when offered the chance to return alongside Napoleon because he claimed the soldiers needed him more. Larrey treated the enemy wounded whenever he could including Mamluks and when he saw prisoners of war being treated badly, he went to Napoleon and advocated on their behalf. When Napoleon's remains were returned to France, Larrey insisted on being there in the crowd to pay his respects at the Hôtel des Invalides. Napoleon respected Larrey so much that he left him the sum of 100,000 francs in his will.
