The obverse is polished, but that doesn`t matter.The Avantgarde suffered 7 NCO`s and Soldiers killed and 1 Officer plus 20 NCO`s and Soldiers wounded.I am sorry for the different photos, but my digi cam ... greetingseitze
kong Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I have other data. There died 2 nco's and 9 soldiers. One offizier and 11 soldiers were wounded. These were with decampment in 1814 a total number of 380 men. With the battle these should have been 627 men.
