This website is about the Six Days Campaign of 1814. Particularly, the action of Champaubert, the battles of Montmirail, Château-Thierry and Vauchamps. I am not able to translate all in English – it takes already a LOT of time to produce it in French – but if you have a specific question, I will try to answer it.
The French army of 1814 was in very poor shape. Most of the time, it was relying on improvisation or extraordinary methods to operate. Consequently, the French sources are not accurate. This is particularly true for the orders of battles. It is also very difficult to gather information from the German or Russian sources. If you have something interesting information and want to share it, please do not have any hesitation to contact me.
