Moorehead, The White Nile, Hamish Hamilton, London, 1962, also published by Penguin. Marchand later fought with French expeditionary forces in China during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. He was promoted to the rank of General in 1915 during World War I and was wounded in 1915 in the Battle of Champagne and again in 1916 in the Battle of the Somme. He retired from the Army in 1919. In 1920, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. According to the British journalist Aubrey Kennedy (1885–1965) Marchand was reportedly unhappy with the change of name from Fashoda to Kodok, remarking to Tracy Philipps in the aftermath of a League of Nations meeting that he regretted the 'disappearance' of Fashoda, believing it to be a historic episode that should not be forgotten. He died at his home in Paris on 14 January 1934, after suffering from rheumatism and effects of the wounds he received in World War I.
