Bonjour from Adelaide. Please pardon my lack of French language.
I have French revolutionary and imperial armies and enjoy playing them. I had a question - is there anywhere that I can hear correct French pronunciation of the names of Napoleon's marshalls and generals? I would like to know I am saying them correctly
Merci.

Thanks for the link. I had a couple of other particular favorites, which I will guess and be grateful if anyone can confirm:
Dessaix = Dess-aye
Massena = Mass-een-a
Marmont = Marr-mon
