G. Massart (fl. c. 1898 - 1916)

G. Massart (fl. c. 1898 - 1916) was a military intelligence officer who participated in the Tabora Campaign of the East Africa Campaign during World War I. He was present in the Congo Free State from 1898, as a non-commissioned officer and gunsmith (premier-sous-officier-armurier) for the Force Publique and was later listed in 1906 as an agent militaire. A source from 1913 notes one Massart as a 'lieutenant d'infanterie de l'armee belge,' and a French-language account of the World War I East Africa Campaign also notes a Lieutenant Massart, a member of the Brigade Nord under the command of Col. Philippe Molitor that captured the Mwanza region.
