The son of GTBA's founder, Tricon-Dunois was unusual in that he was both a general and an entrepreneur. In 1940, he fled to London to join the Free French under General Charles de Gaulle. Appointed to General Leclerc, he was actively involved in rallying the African colonies to the cause, before taking part in operations in Italy, as well as in the liberation of Marseille and Strasbourg. His military career ended in Germany after the fall of the Reich.
