FOOTNOTES:

[1] Houssaye.

[2] Houssaye.

[3] The Prussians called them “brigades”—but as they varied in strength from 6 to 9 battalions (although the battalions were weak) I have substituted the word “divisions,” as they corresponded to the infantry divisions in the French army.

[4] The French foot batteries contained 8 guns; the horse batteries, 6 guns. The horse battery belonging to Vandamme’s Corps had been detached with Domon’s Light Cavalry Division, to the Left Wing.

[5] Turenne.

[6] This would mislead Napoleon, who would infer that Pajol’s Cavalry was included.

[7] Grouchy infers this from Pajol’s capture of the Horse Battery near Le Mazy.

[8] Grouchy seems to have avoided telling Napoleon that they were still there at two o’clock in the afternoon!
