Note 422 — SECTION XXVI: CHAPTER III

Reading edition

Masséna’s dispatch speaks only of Claparéde’s division as being put in, but as Martinien’s lists show, Conroux must have been still more heavily engaged, for his division lost 31 officers killed and wounded, Claparéde’s only 25. Moreover, it was one of Conroux’s battalions (9th Léger) with which the 88th were engaged mainly, and this battalion alone lost 8 officers. About three battalions of each division remained in reserve and had few or no casualties, viz. the 64th, 88th, 95th, 96th, 100th, 103rd of the Line.
