This total, as is obvious, much exceeds the 12,654 given as the total of the Reserve by the tables which Soult sent to Paris on July 16 as representing his available troops. These tables omit the following French battalions which were all undoubtedly on the Pyrenean frontier in July 1813 as they formed parts of the armies of the North and Portugal or of the old Bayonne Reserve in the returns of May, and are all found again present in the returns of September—1/3rd Line, 2/34th Line, 1 & 2/40th Line, 1 & 2/105th Line, 4/116th Line, 4/117th, 2/10th Ligne: i.e. 8-1/2 battalions, which easily account for the 4,600 men short in Soult’s total. After the battles of the Pyrenees, in which Maucune’s and Vandermaesen’s divisions were so cut up that they had to be re-formed with new units, the following battalions, whose existence is concealed by Soult in his July table, were drafted in to them—1 & 3/40th Line into Vandermaesen’s division, 1/3rd, 1 & 2/105th, 2/10th Léger, into Maucune’s. Obviously then, they were available, though omitted. The 4/116th and 4/117th (a fragment of four companies) came into the fighting divisions later, but must have been somewhere behind the Bidassoa all the time (having belonged to the old Bayonne Reserve).
| Officers and men present. | |
|---|---|
| Cavalry: | |
| Acting as Corps-cavalry with the field army: 13th, 15th, 22nd Chasseurs | 808 |
| P. Soult’s Division: 5th and 12th Dragoons, 2nd Hussars, 5th, 10th, 21st Chasseurs, Nassau Chasseurs, Spanish Cavalry | 3,981 |
| Treillard’s Division: 4th, 14th, 16th, 17th, 21st, 26th Dragoons | 2,358 |
| Total cavalry | 7,147 |
This makes the total available for service in the field:
| Infantry | 72,664 |
| Cavalry | 7,147 |
| Total | 79,811 |
while Soult only gave himself credit for 69,543, including the Reserve, for his field army.
