Hello, I spent four years floating on aircraft carriers(Carl Vinson, Nimitz and Abraham Lincoln). I was one of the morons that armed up the F-14 & F-18 on the cats before take off. Night Time was the worst with the steam and engines turning. I came close a few times of being sucked up in one of those things. The F-14 was the worst going up the belly next to those huge engines. Nice Find.... thanks, barry

This document dated March 6, 1815 was written one month before being struck from the list of marshals.

In April of 1814 Marshal Augereau fled from his post the Army of Lyons to Valance. He learned of Napoleon's abdication and denounced him in favor of Louis XVIII. However learning of Napoleon's return switched again in favor of the emperor. Napoleon ignored Augereau and on April 10, 1815 was struck from the list of marshals.
