Flanders sources
[edit]Hi, hope you're well. I'm looking to beef up the Flanders narrative for Henry de Hinuber, but my library is sadly lacking. Do you have access to modern sources for the campaign, or have any to recommend? Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:30, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: That article looks rather impressive already. The only applicable sources that I own are Steve Brown's book and an abbreviated version of John Fortescue's work. I see that they are already cited. I have Ramsay Weston Phipps' 5 volumes of The Armies of the French Revolution, but I doubt if Hinuber gets a mention in there since it is mainly about French generals. George Nafziger may have some relevant orders of battle but finding them online can be tricky because the URL seems to change often. Djmaschek (talk) 20:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Going to have to bite the bullet and purchase Ball's Neither Up Nor Down, Thomas's No Want of Courage, and Demet's We are Accustomed to Do Our Duty. I'm sure there's a book somewhere that mentions his service in the campaign; if only I could remember which one! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 20:10, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: Brown, page 336 gives this brief data. Heinrich von Hinuber: Captain, 14th Light Infantry Regiment (Hanover in 1793-5), Brigade comdr. 1813-14, Division comdr. 1815, Lt. general 1819, died 1833. Djmaschek (talk) 21:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, have got that bit from Brown. My goal now is tracing the 14th's service through Flanders, as right now all I can say is that they were present at Tourcoing. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: At Tourcoing, the 14th Light served with Clerfayt's column. (Brown, pp. 309-310) In August 1794, one battalion of the 14th was captured at Sluis. (Brown, p. 320; Smith, p. 89) One battalion was garrisoning Sas-van-Gent (?) and Hulst. (Brown, p. 320) On 11 December 1794, elements of the 14th were employed in a counterattack at Gent. In the same skirmish, General Von dem Bussche was killed. (Brown, p. 236) Two battalions of the 14th were part of the garrison under Hammerstein that escaped from Menin on 29 April 1794. (Brown, p. 153) Djmaschek (talk) 22:25, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I might have confused the Sluis element. My understanding from Brown was that they were guarding POWs at Sluis rather than being POWs? I missed the Gent and Hammerstein mentions in Brown, thanks, I'll add those! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 22:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: See Smith, p. 76 for the Siege of Menin on 27-30 April 1794. Djmaschek (talk) 23:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- What's the Smith work? I would have to figure out which battalion Hinuber was serving with, which I am imagine would be more difficult! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 23:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: See Smith, Digby (1998). The Napoleonic Wars Data Book. London: Greenhill. ISBN 1-85367-276-9. Djmaschek (talk) 00:20, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, about time I got my own copy. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, regarding Hinuber, I think I've managed to sort his service up to 1813 but am a little unsure about the Peninsular War. He was definitely present at Nivelle and Bayonne, but I have nothing concrete bar that. Our article says he was at the Bidassoa, but my sources don't have him in command of the brigade until later in the month. Similarly I've seen mentions of his presence at the Nive but can't find sources to corroborate. Would you be able to assist in any way? Thanks! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Pickersgill-Cunliffe: From: Oman, Charles (1997) [1930]. A History of the Peninsular War Volume VII. Vol. 7. Mechanicsburg, Pa.: Stackpole. ISBN 1-85367-227-0. Page 561: Hinuber's brigade fought at Bayonne 14 April 1814. Here are the units (all KGL) in the brigade and total casualties: 1st Light (28), 2nd Light (90), 1st Line (9), 2nd Line (40), 5th Line (22). Page 541: Nivelle 10 Nov 1813 total casualties. 1st & 2nd Light (109), 1st, 2nd & 5th Line (74). Page 537: Nivelle Hinuber's brigade OOB (officers, men). 1st Line (31, 627), 2nd Line (25, 585), 5th Line (33, 549), 1st Light (32, 599), 2nd Light (28, 667). Page 339: Storming of St. Etienne suburb in investment of Bayonne 27 Feb 1814. Hinuber wounded. 1st & 5th Line & 2nd Light lost 328 casualties. Page 545: Nive Combat of Anglet 9 Dec 1813. KGL brigade 70 casualties. Page 534: KGL brigade was still led by Colin Halkett at the Battle of Biassoa, 7 Oct 1813. Djmaschek (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not sure why I hadn't checked Oman already! Thank you very much for the confirmation, I've updated the article accordingly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, about time I got my own copy. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Missing reference in Pierre-Louis Binet de Marcognet
[edit]Hi, I didn't wanna bother you but I have an issue with a missing reference and, since you're the original author of the article, I think you could help me. I'm currently translating the said article but I can't quite figure out which book are you referring to when you're quoting Gates. It's not mentioned in the references section and I'm not familiar with English authors, so I'm struggling. Thanks for the consideration and sorry for the bad English. PMarega1998 (talk) 10:32, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- I updated the References section so that Gates is now there. I also changed the references to use sfn format. By the way, your written English is excellent. Djmaschek (talk) 02:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- The article now uses cite book references and sfn citations. Djmaschek (talk) 03:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Battle of La Rothière order of battle
[edit]Please add citations to text footnotes 9 and 10. I suspect these are from the same sources in the table. However, Hawkeye7, and I in turn, have asked for citations for such footnotes themselves in a few recent assessments. I looked around to see if I could determine whether BL was the correct class, but there seems to be some variance. So I will assess B class with the additions. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 22:02, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Donner60: I removed both footnotes as unnecessary. Readers can calculate the strengths themselves if they like. Djmaschek (talk) 05:42, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 07:10, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

The Civil War Dictionary
[edit]Hello from further north Texas! I've been working through ISBN date errors.
On your citations for Mark Boatner's The Civil War Dictionary, the ISBN you noted is actually for a different edition published in 1980 by Crown Publishing group. I was not sure exactly which edition you were actually using. Would you like me to leave the 1959 edition in the citation and remove the ISBN or update the citation to the ISBN's date/publisher?
Option 1 - Boatner, Mark M. III (1959). The Civil War Dictionary. New York, N.Y.: David McKay Company Inc.
Option 2 - Boatner, Mark M. III (1980). The Civil War Dictionary. New York, N.Y.: Crown Publishing Group ISBN 0-679-50013-8. Hazel is rabbit (talk) 21:22, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Hazel is rabbit: I own the 1959 version where the ISBN is 0-679-50013-8. Some well-meaning editors sometimes update the references to a later version. However, this means that my original reference may no longer be accurate. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 21:48, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
