A Chasseurs Fate by Keith Rocco. (GS)
The Chasseurs of the Guard at Austerlitz, 1805. Short of reserves during a Russian counterattack to regain the strategic Pratzen Heights outside Austerlitz, Napoleon ordered forward a portion of the Guard Cavalry. After initial success the cavalry faltered before the overwhelming numbers of the Russian Guard but had bought enough time for the infantry reserves to reach the gap. With the hole in the French line secured, the remaining squadrons of the Chasseurs along with squadrons of Mamelukes and Grenadiers charged to their embattled compatriots aid. They were led by General Rapp who wrote of the encounter: The enemy cavalry was slashing at our troopers -- then let go and turned on me. Four cannon were brought up at the gallop, unlimbered and set up in battery -- We charged the artillery and captured it. The enemy cavalry stood firm awaiting our attack, then broke under the shock and fled in disorder.
