華爾勒伯勒東法爾第福戈登日意格德克碑赫德帛黎 Ward, Lebrethon, Foudrinière, Gordon, Giquel, von Sternberg, Hart, and Brière

日意格，法國人。 Giquel was French.

官軍攻慈谿，遣法兵馳往策應。 When government forces attacked Cixi, Giquel sent French troops to reinforce them.

賊緣道築卡樹柵，悉奪毀之，薄城，並力轟擊，賊殊死戰，賈勇直前，被創，眾軍繼進，斬級千，賊始渡曹娥江去。 They destroyed every rebel barricade along the road, closed on the city, and shelled it together; the rebels resisted desperately; Giquel led a bold charge and was wounded, but the main force followed, took a thousand heads, and drove the enemy across the Cao'e River.

五年，宗棠創福州船政局，充正監督，度地募工，殫心所事； In 1866 Zuo founded the Foochow Naval Dockyard; Giquel became chief superintendent, chose the site, recruited labor, and gave himself entirely to the work;

日意格初亦參防戰，繼以船政著勞。 Giquel first fought in the defense of the coast, then earned lasting credit at the naval dockyard.
