English: Statue of
Pierre Cambronne, general of the
Garde Impériale at
Waterloo (sculpture by Jean Debay, 1848). He is famous for having replied to the British general
Colville (according to the legend): La Garde meurt et ne se rend pas ! (the Garde dies and does not surrender). Actually, he didn't die and did surrender, but the sentence is still engraved on the pedestal of its statue in
Nantes, its natal city. When Colville insisted, Cambronne is known to have answered Merde !, the interjection being then known as the Word of Cambronne. He always denied having said any of that.

Nantes, su ciudad natal. Cuando Colville insistió, Cambronne parece ser que respondió Merde !,la interjección fue tomada por la palabra de Cambronne. Él siempre negó haber dicho esto.

Pierre Cambronne, général de la

Waterloo (sculpture de Jean Debay, 1848). Selon la légende, il aurait répondu au général britannique
Charles Colville : « La Garde meurt et ne se rend pas ! ». Bien qu'il ne soit pas mort et qu'il se soit rendu, la phrase est tout de même gravée sur le socle de sa statue à
Nantes, sa ville natale. Lorsque Colville insista, Cambronne aurait répondu « Merde ! », interjection dorénavant connue sous le nom de « mot de Cambronne ». Il a toujours nié avoir prononcé ces phrases.
