Biography
Aymerich was born in Estagel, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, the eldest of three sons of Férréol-Vincent Aymerich and Thérèse Marie Moner. He was commissioned at age 18, and attended the military college of Saint-Cyr. He was military commander and Administrator of French Cameroons after the German colony of Kamerun was seized in the Kamerun Campaign of World War I. In 1933, he published La Conquête du Cameroun (The Conquest of Cameroon).[1]
gollark: Markdown is so weird and annoying to parse.
gollark: Anyway, by perpetuating the "GB is base 2" thing, you aid the confusion which allows HDD makers to ship mildly less storage than they otherwise might, and which is generally kind of irritating if you need precise units in things.
gollark: If we amputate 8 fingers from all humans by force, we will finally enter a golden age of binary prefixes.
gollark: Specialized binary prefixes let you use base 2 if you want to for some reason but use the more consistent and easier to manipulate base 10.
gollark: Programmers like base 2, but all other stuff is mostly done in base 10 and the prefixes were designed around that.
