Note 605 — SECTION XXXVI: CHAPTER VIII

The lancers are shown in Martinien’s lists to have lost six officers, the hussars four. The casualties of the 18th Hussars (3 officers and 37 men) and of the 10th (16 men) were certainly got in this affair, which was evidently hot while it lasted. The best account of Joseph’s last half-hour on the battlefield is in the Mémoires of Miot de Melito (iii. pp. 280-1), who was at the King’s side and shared his wild ride.
