| - He intended to be a lawyer and received his right to practice in 1791, but a year later joined the 7th Volunteers as a Captain. He was elected lieutenant colonel in the Army of the Rhine on September 5, 1792 and he fought in numerous battles, including the Battle of Hondschoote (September 7, 1793) and the Battle of Wattignies (October 16, 1793). He then fought in the Low Countries as a part of General Jourdan's Armée la Sambre et Meuse, and was injured severely in the thigh at Sprimont. After leaving the hospital, Morand joined Bernadotte's 10th division and fought at the Battle of Ourthe (September 18, 1794), in the Battle of Aldenhoven (October 2, 1794), the Capture of Kreutznach (December 1, 1795), at the heights of Koenigstein (July 26, 1796) and at the Battle of Teining (August 22, 1796). Still with Bernadotte, Morand joined the Army of Italy in January 1797, which then left for Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. In Egypt, he fought in the Battle of the Pyramids as Chef de Brigade under Louis Desaix. He gained recognition for battles at Girgeh (April 6, 1799), El Ganaim and especially Samanhoud (August 12, 1799). After Samanhoud, Morand replaced Friant, who was promoted to temporary division commander, as adjudant general chief of brigade and governor of the province of Girgeh. Morand was promoted to Général de Brigade on September 6, 1800. Morand returned to France in 1801 and was attached to the camp at Saint-Omer.
