About Antoine Balland
- Antoine Balland (27 August 1751 – 3 November 1821) commanded a French infantry division during the early years of the French Revolutionary Wars.
- A former private, he was promoted to command an infantry regiment after the Battle of Jemappes.
- He became a general of brigade in late August 1793 and a general of division less than three weeks later.
- Soon afterwards, he led a division in Jean-Baptiste Jourdan's victory at Wattignies.
- In the spring of 1794, he led his troops at Le Cateau, Beaumont and Landrecies.
- By this time it was obvious that he did not have the talent to command a combat division and he was replaced by Jean Baptiste Kléber.
- He was not employed after June 1795 and died at Guise in 1821.
