Note 133 — SECTION XVIII: CHAPTER III

Soult’s statement that he lost ‘some 25 men’ (Soult to Berthier, Jan. 21) is no doubt a little exaggerated. But Martinien’s invaluable tables show that Mortier’s corps, which did nearly all the fighting, lost only two officers out of 549 present, probably, therefore, it lost no more than forty men. Dessolles must have lost about the same.
