Featured battle : St Gotthard

Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Date : 23 September 1799 - 27 September 1799

Only about 6,000 of the French troops actually came into action. The Russians lost a significant number of men forcing the bridge over the river Reuss at Teufelsbrücke. The Austro-Russians held control of the pass.

Another superb book in this series. This one has tapped a very rich seam of material hitherto inaccessible to anyone unable to read German. Though the whole book is most interesting Appendix 2 in particular appealed to me. It records some of the 'Glorious Feats' performed by men of the KGL and Hanoverian Army. There are also some excellent reproductions of original illustrations of uniforms and 'battle' scenes. See review of Volume VI for comment on the whole series.
