Note 708 — SECTION VIII: CHAPTER V
Reading edition
Le Noble (Campagne du Maréchal Soult, p. 24) says that Franceschi made a ‘charge’ here and took 500 prisoners. The number of prisoners is very probably correct, but it is hardly a ‘charge’ when isolated stragglers are picked up. The rearguard was never molested, and retired without having to fire a shot.
