The statement also said Bernard has since been promoted and is now serving as director general of military personnel.

A senior member of the Canadian Armed Forces who was removed from his role in Canada's vaccine rollout in the spring has been deemed fit to continue as a senior military leader.

5 November 1839: Death of General Simon Bernard, age 60.

In an illustration of Napoleon’s “career open to all talents,” Simon Bernard rose from modest origins to become an engineering general in the Grande Armée. He attracted Napoleon’s personal attention when, as a young officer, he had the nerve to give the Emperor unsolicited advice about campaign plans. After Napoleon’s 1815 defeat, Bernard spent 15 years as a military engineer in the United States Army, where he had a huge impact on America’s coastal defences. He later served as France’s Minister of War.

Bernard died in Paris and was buried in the cemetery of Montmartre. On learning of his death, President Martin Van Buren directed all US army officers to wear mourning for thirty days.
