Note 304 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 6)
Walter Krueger translation
“The French firing lines through which the cavalry had charged (evening attack made by Rauch’s Brigade in the direction of Rezonville on August 16th, 1870) fired after the Hussars, while the French Infantry units in rear fired in the opposite direction. The result was a frightful cross-fire, which, while undoubtedly disastrous for the Hussars, certainly must have worked havoc among the French.” Kunz, Reiterei, p. 153.
