Comments

Historian and biographer (1881-1916)
Rue Quentin-Bauchart is the extension to the Champs-Élysées of Rue de Chaillot which, in the section between Rue Georges-Bizet and Avenue Marceau, is the former main street of the village of Chaillot. This section was called "rue de Chaillot" until 1919, when it was renamed in honor of Pierre Quentin-Bauchart, a Paris city councilor who died on the battlefield.
A graduate of the Ecole des Sciences Politiques and Doctor of Letters, he succeeded his father Maurice Quentin-Bauchart (1857-1910) as city councillor for the Champs-Élysées district (1911-1916), in Paris's 8th arrondissement. Captain of the 72nd infantry regiment during the First World War, he was mortally wounded inspecting the front lines at Bouchavesnes (Somme). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Quentin-Bauchart

The 72nd infantry regiment became the 272nd R.I. in 1914. Automatically translated

Historien et biographe (1881-1916)
La rue Quentin-Bauchart est le prolongement jusqu'aux Champs-Élysées de la rue de Chaillot qui, dans sa partie comprise entre la rue Georges-Bizet et l'avenue Marceau, n'est autre que l'ancienne rue principale du village de Chaillot. Cette section porta d'ailleurs le nom de « rue de Chaillot » jusqu'à être rebaptisée en 1919 en l'honneur de Pierre Quentin-Bauchart, conseiller municipal de Paris mort au champ d'honneur.
Lauréat de l'Ecole des sciences politiques et docteur ès lettres, il succède à son père Maurice Quentin-Bauchart (1857-1910) comme conseiller municipal du quartier des Champs-Élysées (1911-1916), dans le 8e arrondissement de Paris. Capitaine du 72e régiment d'infanterie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il est mortellement blessé en inspectant ses premières lignes à Bouchavesnes (Somme). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Quentin-Bauchart

Le 72ème régiment d'infanterie est devenu en 1914 le 272ème R.I.
