Hinterweidenthal, from 6 to 8 September 2024.

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.

In the distance, at the right, the fleeing Prussians and Saxons can be seen.

Our company united with soldiers of the 18e, 37e and 85e de ligne and the 1er régiment d'artillerie. Together, we formed a combined peloton. The Prussians and Saxons outnumbered us heavily, but we surpassed them in speed, activity and ingenuity.

The night was very cold, but the incessant skirmishes warmed us up.
Le soleil du matin. Les Saxons. Tiraillement. Un faisceau d'armes.
The sun smiled at our efforts.
