The Filles de Saint Thomas Battalion (French: Bataillon des Filles-Saint-Thomas) is part of the National Guard of Paris, established on 13 July 1789. It is known for its participation in the defense of the Tuileries Palace, during the Insurrection of 10 August 1792. Preceding the fall of the monarchy, it played an important role in the suppression of the various Parisian uprisings and during the royalist uprising of 13 Vendémiaire. Renamed the Lepelletier section, it is the spearhead of the demonstrators. Guardsmen who survived the Insurrection of 10 August all died during the September Massacres or were guillotined.
