1887- start of service[edit]

The infobox states he joined the french army in 1887, which would mean he became a soldier at 6 or 7 years old. (Llewee (talk) 13:15, 21 May 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Early life[edit]

German Wiki's article says: "His father was the organist, music and German teacher Léon Jacques Huntziger. After the Prusso-German War of 1870, he moved from Alsace to Brittany to avoid military service in the German armed forces. Charles Huntziger also spoke German fluently. He was a pious Catholic, and played the violin in his spare time."

(Sein Vater war der Organist, Musik- und Deutschlehrer Léon Jacques Huntziger. Dieser war nach dem Deutsch-Französischen Krieg von 1870 aus dem Elsass in die Bretagne übersiedelt, um dem Wehrdienst in den deutschen Streitkräften zu entgehen. Auch Charles Huntziger sprach fließend Deutsch, war überzeugter Katholik und spielte in seiner Freizeit Violine.)

– This a more on his early life would seem appropriate for our article. – Sca (talk) 15:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
