Commander Bio:

Émile Guépratte (1856-1939) was a Vice Admiral of the French Navy (1915). A son of a naval officer, Émile Guépratte started his naval career in the early 1870s. In the 1880s, he underwent torpedo training. For a long time, Guépratte served in Africa and the Far East and took part in a conflict between the French Republic and the Kingdom of Siam. Brisk and active, he preferred ships and long cruising to staff appointments. For several years, he commanded the torpedo-boat and submarine tender, later becoming a commander of several large armored cruisers in succession. At the outbreak of World War I, Admiral Guépratte was given command of a squadron of pre-dreadnought battleships, which earned him glory in the Dardanelles. Fearless, and a born leader, he was able to motivate and inspire his people. Guépratte saved the reputation of the French Navy in the operation, which was not a success for the Allies. Under heavy fire from the forts, and sustaining losses, the ships of Guépratte entered the strait again and again, maneuvering flawlessly and firing salvo after salvo. To complete the task was a matter of honor for the admiral, and that's the reason he became known as a "Point d'honneur." The persistence and perseverance of the French impressed the British command, and so Guépratte earned his other nickname-"The Fire Eater."
