In the battle of Belle Alliance he led the tirailleurs of the fusilier battalion with as much prudence as bravery in the victory of Plauchenoit, and on the night of June 18 to 19 he and his tirailleurs were always at the head of our troops pursuing the enemy with the general of the infantry, Count Gneisenau, so I give him the most submissive for promotion.
