Featured battle : Graz
Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
Date : 25 June 1809 - 26 June 1809
Count Gyulai's Corps contained many raw, untrained troops in Personal battalions and Insurrektion Battalions. These fled and in doing so hampered/destabilised such regular troops as were present. The French fought well and gained an easy victory.

Into Battle with Napoleon 1812. The Journal of Jakob Walter
Jakob Walter. Edited & Annotated by Bob Carruthers
This is a re-presentation of the jounal which was first translated and published in America in 1938. Bob Carruthers has done a really good job in bringing this wonderful work up to date. His inspired selection and inclusion of the watercolours of Albrecht Adam, who witnessed many of the same events as Jakob Walter, makes the book even more enjoyable. That is if the brutal reporting of such a train of harrowing events can ever be enjoyed. The reader is left with an understanding of the life of a soldier in Russia in 1812 and thankfulness that Jakob kept a jounal. A must read.
