Originally a cavalryman, Raymond trained as a pilot and was posted to Escadrille 3 in May 1916.[2] Raymond scored his first four victories flying a Spad VII, then switched to a Spad XIII for his fifth.[3] He scored his first win on 25 September 1916, his last on 26 February 1918, and had two unconfirmed claims along the way.[1] On 2 November 1917, he rose to command the squadron in the wake of the dual loss of Georges Guynemer and Alfred Heurteaux. He was promoted to capitaine in May, 1918. [2] He surrendered command of Escadrille 3 on 3 September 1918 because he was incapacitated with pneumonia. He died in the hospital at Chalons-sur-Marne from crash injuries and pneumonia on 4 October 1918.[2] [4]
