"Gustave Ferrié (1868-1932)"

Gustave-Auguste Ferrié (Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, Savoie, November 19, 1868 – Paris, February 16, 1932) was a French army general. In 1891 he became an officer in the French army's Engineers Corps, specializing in the military telegraph service. After being named to a committee exploring wireless telegraphy between France and England, in 1899 he carried out such communications in collaboration with Guglielmo Marconi. His contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy and international broadcasting were very important.
