Merci.

Mais sur ce site il n'y a pas le livre avec les numéros de page en haut à droite ou à gauche sur les officiers!😂

Je prends un exemple: Sous-Lieut. Pierre-Samuel Mellier (28), il y a 8 pages sur cet officier mais pas la page du livre que tu as mis en exemple. Nommée 131.

Je te repose donc la même question: Où trouver ce livre?

Salut

Tu trouves où le livre avec les numéros de page en haut à droite ou à gauche sur les officiers?

Fastes de la Legion d'honneur Tome 2 pg 326-327

On April 19, 1809, the day of the battle of Thaun, the enemy having seized the heights, made a division run to go and intercept the road; General Saint-Hilaire wanted to oppose this movement, which could compromise the fate of his troops and that of part of the army. The 57th Regiment was ordered to march on this battery; it was only a short pistol shot away when it was greeted by the musketry of an infantry battalion. The 72nd line infantry regiment, seen at this point, had already come to grips in a wood, where it was crushed by grape-shot from a battery located on a hillock some distance away. The fire was so well fed and so well directed that the French were forced to retire in disorder. Raverat, with half of his grenadiers and about fifty voltigeurs, remains the last; but he is soon obliged to follow the retrograde movement. While he beats in retreat, one of the soldiers who had crossed the Passarge with him, falls wounded by a shot: he takes care to raise him; but at the same time, he himself was struck by a bullet which broke his right hand. the Colonel (Charriere) of 57th then ordered Raverat to go to the ambulance to get bandaged: "No, colonel," replies the lieutenant; This during the General Saint-Hilaire having rallied the troops, arrived with a reinforcement to attack a second time the heights; you have already lost a lot of officers, you might need me: "besides, I want to have the honor of commanding one" of your companies, and despite my injury, it is on "this redoubt that you will give it to me”.Ráverat, seeing that the moment is favorable, sets off at the head of a handful of brave men who emerge with bayonets; he climbs the height, after having killed a great number of enemies, and appears the first on the hillock, which is carried by storm. This bold move decided the victory. The one who had contributed so much, then yielding to the strong urges of his chiefs, entered the hospital of Neubourg, where he underwent an operation all the more painful, that it was necessary to extract from his hand the bullet which had remained there. Four days later, Napoleon arrived under the walls of Ratisbon; he was already informed of the courage displayed by this officer: "Where is Lieutenant Raverat, from" he asked the colonel of the 57th regiment? "Sire," replied the latter, "a shot from which he was hit" at the battle of Thaun, where the whole army saw him performing wonders of value, forced him to enter the country hospital . - Well! added the Emperor, let him know that I "appoint him baron, with an endowment of four thousand francs".
