Details of the drill. Our sergent Champagne and caporal Rôtisseur exercised the functions of the 1st and 2nd cannoneers (canoniers). |

The grenadiers Sans-Souci, Le Bonheur and La-Belle-Mer were ordered to observe and "annoy" a small detachment of a dozen Prussians, who had put up a small camp in the forest. We did our best.
