The following is a list of the 660 names inscribed under the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris.[1] Most of them represent generals who served during the French First Republic (1792–1804) and the First French Empire (1804–1815).[2] Underlined names signify those killed in action. Additionally, the names of specific armies are listed, grouped together by the four compass facades of the arch: North (northern France, lower Rhine, Netherlands), East (Central Europe, Switzerland, Italy), South (Mediterranean Europe, Egypt, southern France) and West (Pyrenees, western France, notable units).
