REPORT ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE ARMY CORPS:
Provisions: Since the
baggage wagons of the army corps have been burned, it can take nothing with it.
We found nothing in Görlitz, the distribution of not even a half ration could
take place. All Divisions lack flesh. We found no fodder in the magazines. We
maintain the horses by foraging, but even this way of finding fodder will soon
be exhausted.
Hospitals: All wound of the
army corps have been brought to the hospital in Bautzen.
Resources: The army corps
has none, and the country will soon be unable to provide for them.
REPORT ABOUT THE SUPERIOR
OFFICERS:
Promotions: The Colonels
Obert, Sibuet, Azemar and Maudeville have been promoted to général de brigade;
Azemar has replaced General Penne who was wounded on 21 August; Obert was
wounded on 19 August.
Killed: Général de
brigade Vachot on the 23rd, and général de brigade Sibuet on 29 August.
Prisoner: General Puthod
and his three adjutants on 29 August; General-Adjutant Bernard of the Chief of
the General Staff on the same day, as well as Chef de Bataillon Lachondes; Chef
d’Escadron Bonnafoux, commander of the artillery, and Chef de Bataillon
Vanderwyk, Chief of the General Staff of the engineers corps on 27 August;
