A Question of Scale

Having read and reviewed the previous volume which dealt with 1st Corps and HQ, this series of eyewitness accounts from 2nd Corps, 6thCorps and the Imperial Guard does not disappoint. The eyewitness accounts, particularly concerning the actions of the Imperial Guard, are most helpful in clarifying the sequence of events in the latter stages of the battle. Likewise, the accounts of artillery officers regarding the dispositions of batteries are also interesting in perhaps identifying the forward positions and movements.
