DODDS, ALFRED AMEDEE (1842- ), French general, was born at St Louis,
Senegal, on the 6th of February 1842; his father's family was of
Anglo-French origin. He was educated at Carcassonne and at St Cyr, and
in 1864 joined the marine infantry as a sub-lieutenant. He was promoted
captain for his services during the disturbances in Reunion in 1868-69,
in the course of which he was wounded. He served as a company commander
