The personality of Manheulles is the general Auguste Margueritte, who was born there in 1823. At eight years, it leaves the Meuse to follow his father, gendarme, who is named in Algeria. The General Margueritte, hero of the war of 1870, received in front of Sedan, on September 1st, 1870, a wound which will be fatal for him (he will die in Belgium, five days later). In spite of its wound (a ball crossed the cheeks to him), it carries out with its division of hunters of Africa a suicidal load against the Prussian troops. A statue, set up with its memory in 1884, rises today still on the place of Fresnes-in-Woëvre. Decapitated in 1914, it was reorganized a few years later.
