LA ROCQUE (François de) French soldier and politician (1885-1946) Commonly known as Colonel de la Rocque, he was elected in 1932 President General of the Croix-de-Feu, then President and founder of the French Social Party in 1936. Autograph letter signed to [Victor Bourret]. Paris, February 27, 1932. 1 pp. in-4. Rare. Beautiful letter of thanks written shortly before his election as president of the Croix-de-Feu, concerning the request of one of his captain protégés, for which he seems satisfied with the result, "and with the kindness with which you kept me informed...". He wishes to express to him "in person all his gratitude" during a next visit to Saint Dominique Street.
