📕 Brigadier Gerard is the hero of a series of comic short stories by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. 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. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady.The Adventures of Gerard was the second collection of Adventure Stories in the series of Brigadier Gerard.
