Résumé

Ingénieur en chef de l'Armement (hydrographe) Jean-Claude GAILLARD, Deputy Director of EPSHOM, died on 11 January 1997, following a short and terrible illness. Beside his family who were cruelly affected by his death, the SHOM staff were deeply saddened by the loss of a man who was recognized by all as being someone out of the ordinary. Whether we had the privilege of having him work under us, or the honour of having him as a boss or simply were lucky enough to have him as a friend, we wish to honour his memory and to show our gratitude for the eminent services rendered to both French and international hydrography. Contributions have been made to these few lines, either directly or indirectly, by all those who knew and appreciated Jean-Claude Gaillard from the time of his arrival at SHOM in 1971, and they are a tribute to him which could have no better place than the International Hydrographic Review.
