Note 428 — SECTION XXVI: CHAPTER III
Reading edition
Fririon notes that they suffered more than was necessary from being in dense masses (p. 207). These two divisions had on the 3rd and 5th May 14 officers killed and 38 wounded, according to Martinien’s lists. As the total loss of the corps on both days was 59 officers and nearly 900 men, and we have to allow for Ferey’s loss of 400 men in Fuentes village, it seems that Marchand and Mermet must have lost at least as many more.
