Henry Bouquet (1719 – September 2, 1765) was a prominent British Army officer in the French and Indian War and Pontiac's War. Bouquet is best known for his victory over Native Americans (American Indians) at the Battle of Bushy Run, lifting the siege of Fort Pitt during Pontiac’s War. Bouquet was born into a moderately wealthy family in Rolle, Switzerland.​
αλλά Henri Bouquet στη γαλλική βίκη και «Henri Louis Bouquet γνωστός ως Henry Bouquet μεταξύ των Βρετανών» σύμφωνα με τη γερμανική.

Επομένως Χένρι ή Ανρί; (υποθέτω Μπουκέ σε όλες τις εκδοχές). Ή κάτι διαφορετικό; Κάποιος ειδικός στον αμερικανικό 18ο αιώνα;

Ίσως έπρεπε να προσθέσω ότι έχει μείνει στην ιστορία για μια διαβόητη περίπτωση:

It was during Pontiac's War that Bouquet gained a certain lasting infamy. In a series of letters during the summer of 1763 between Bouquet and his commander, General Jeffery Amherst, the idea was raised of infecting the Indians who had besieged Fort Pitt with smallpox by giving them infected blankets from the fort's smallpox hospital.
