Brigadier Gerard is the comedic hero of a series of 17 historical short stories, a play, and a major character in a novel by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. Brigadier Etienne Gerard is a Hussar officer in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity – he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, most accomplished horseman and most gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong, since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady.

  • Le brigadier Gérard est le héros d'une série de nouvelles historiques de l'écrivain britannique Arthur Conan Doyle. Cavalier et sabreur émérite, mais « fonceur » et cocardier jusqu'à la caricature, il se sort indemne de mésaventures invraisemblables. Le cycle romanesque du brigadier Gérard donne l'occasion à Conan Doyle d'opposer les divers caractères nationaux de l'Europe (anglais, russes, résistants allemands et espagnols) pendant l'épopée napoléonienne.
