You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Edgard de Larminat''' (29 November 1895 &ndash; 1 July 1962) was a French general, who fought in two [[World War]]s. He was one of the most important military figures who joined the [[Free French]] forces under the British in 1940. He was awarded the [[Ordre de la Libération]].

Larminat joined the French Army at the outbreak of the [[First World War]] as a private and by 1915 had completed his officer training and later fought at the [[Battle of Verdun]].  During the course of the war, Larminat was wounded three times and gassed once.  He achieved the rank of captain by the close of the war.

Completing his military studies at Saint-Cyr in October 1919, Larminat volunteered to serve in the colonial infantry.  In this capacity, he saw combat against rebels in [[Morocco]], and later served in [[Mauritania]] and [[Indochina]].  At the outbreak of the [[Second World War]], Larminat was a lieutenant-colonel stationed in the [[Levant]].

Larminat was still serving in the Middle East when France surrendered in June, 1940. He refused to obey the French Government and was imprisoned in [[Damascus]], but escaped and fled to join the renegade Free French group in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]. He was later active in Africa and during the Allied invasion of Italy and France, serving as the commander of the [[1st Free French Division]] in north Africa, the Free French Pursuit Corps in Italy, and the [[2nd Army Corps (France)|Free French II Corps]] and Atlantic Army Detachment in France. De Larminat is held responsible for the controversial bombardment and destruction of the French city of [[Royan]] in January 1945.<ref>''The Zinn reader: writings on disobedience and democracy'' Howard Zinn p.275''ff'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=JGLkwCNI7sIC&pg=PA275] and in French, [http://www.vieuxblaye.fr/spip.php?article72] 
</ref>

After the war, Larminat served in several positions, notably as the Inspector-General of overseas troops and the inspector of colonial forces. He also served as the first president of the Association of the Free French.  Larminat retired to the reserves in 1956 and was briefly recalled to active duty in 1962 to chair the Court of Military Justice charged with judging the actions of French officers who took part in the rebellion of colonial troops in Algeria in 1961.  Before the court convened, Larminat committed suicide on 1 July 1962.
