Quartered in the casemates of the ancient fortress, we devoted our time to extensive drilling and to extensive feasting, in equal parts. |
Our battallion in column by sections, in the background the village Marchais-en-Brie. |
We had a great time: Pleasant company, pleasant countryside, pleasant weather, pleasant food (including cherries fresh from the tree). |
Our shoes after a march of about 20 German Miles (150 kilometers). |
Most photos were made by Claudia Behnke - many thanks !
In Schleiz we were chasing Prussians and Saxons for a complete day. |
The Prussian ruses were no match to our French wits, all their ambuscades failed. |
Back in our bivouac, the day ended with singing and drinking, in good company as usual. |
In Saint-Quirin we chased Prussians and Badeners even for two days, through forests and plains, uphill and downhill - there was no time for fatigue. |
