Jules Franois Bonaventure Julhiet, born at Valence (Drme) 3 December 1824, died 18 August
1898. His service record shows:-
Entre dans la Marine en 1840; Aspirant le 1er septembre 1842, port TOULON; Enseigne
de vaisseau le 1er novembre 1846; Au 1er janvier 1849, sur la frgate de 50 canons LAPOURSUIVANTE, en OCANIE (Cdt Jean JAM); Lieutenant de vaisseau le 14 aot 1852;

dcembre 1863; Officier de la Lgion dHonneur le 21 juin 1865; Au 1er janvier 1869, inscrit au

In China he served under Admiral Constant Louis Jean Benjamin Jaurs, who had succeeded
Admiral Proted (killed near Shanghai, 17 May 1862). Jaurs is better remembered for service
around Japan, being present at the Bombardment of Shimonoseki (1863) and the Boshin War
(1868-1869). Following the Namamugi incident, it would seem most likely that Julhiet was
present at the Franco-Anglo-Japanese conference on the French ship Smiramis, 2 July 1863.
