;
;Biography
The greatest modern military career began when Napoleon was commissioned into the
artillery after military school. Napoleon's intensive study of tactics paid off in the recapture
of Toulon, and his "whiff of grapeshot" won him the gratitude of Barras, leader of the
Directory, who gave him command of the army in Italy and then in Egypt. His huge
military success was the basis of Napoleon's coup d'état in 1799 and his assumption of the
Imperial Throne in 1804. In turn, unanswerable control of France fuelled his military
conquests and his ambitions for a European empire. His military skills were based on a
profound knowledge of tactics, a mathematical precision in military manoeuvres, and a flair
for finding the enemy's weakness and punishing it. Napoleon's chief physical characteristic
was his energy; his stocky form bustled along between the points of action, and the chaos
of a battlefield took meaningful shape under his penetrating gaze. His leadership qualities,
enhanced by the devotion shown to "le petit corporal" by patriotic Frenchmen, was only
marred by his failure to trust subordinate generals with the independence they required.
His charismatic personality, encapsulated in his personal relationship with many of his
troops, still inspired Frenchmen 37 years after Waterloo when his nephew Louis Napoleon
founded the Second Empire.

;
;Biography
Ney enlisted in the French army at the age 18 and rose swiftly through the ranks by
election during the Revolutionary Wars. After being badly wounded in the left shoulder at
the siege of Maastricht, Ney was made général de division in 1798 . Napoleon appointed
him
amongst the first marshals of the Empire in 1804. Ney commanded VI Corps at Jena,
Eylau, Friedland, but lost his post for insubordination. He cultivated a style of leadership
which was active and self-confident, but perhaps too idiosyncratic: Napoleon cursed him
for attacking  prematurely at Jena and called him "the most uncooperative of colleagues".
Ney fought valiantly at Borodino, and commanded the rear guard during the disastrous
retreat from Moscow in 1812. In the 1813 campaign, Ney led the left wing at Bautzen,
and was wounded again at Leipzig. Following the restoration of the Bourbons, Ney
accepted command of the cavalry from Louis XVIII. When Napoleon landed in the south
of France in 1815, Ney swore to bring Napoleon back to Paris "in an iron cage", but upon
meeting his former Emperor he threw in his lot with Napoleon. In the Waterloo campaign,
Ney commanded the left wing, but his tactical skill deserted him at Quatre Bras.

After the final defeat of Napoleon, Ney was executed by firing squad on 7th December
1815 following  a trial which typified the harsh revenge of the Royalists.

;Biography
The only hereditary noble to become a marshal of Napoleon's army, Grouchy rose swiftly
within the French army. In 1793, he was suspended from active duty because of his noble
birth. He was reinstated in 1794 and fought in the Vendée and Brittany. In 1805 he
commanded an infantry division in II Corps, but it was in 1806-07 that Grouchy achieved
his greatest successes  as commander of the 2nd Dragoon Division at Jena and at Eylau. In
1808, Grouchy served as governor of Madrid where he suppressed a rising. He saw active
service in Italy in 1809, and fought at Wagram. In the Russian campaign he commanded
the III Reserve Cavalry Corps, but the campaign took its toll and he retired on his return
to France. His retirement was, however, short lived with him returning to active service
after only three months. During the defence of France in 1814 he distinguished himself at
Vauchamps, Troyes, and Craonne. Under the Bourbons he was made an inspector-général.
Grouchy supported Napoleon on his return to France in March 1815. He crushed a
Royalist rising in the Midi and was rewarded by being made the 26th Marshal of the
Empire. Grouchy commanded the right wing of  the Armée du Nord at Ligny and Wavre
but failed to arrive at Waterloo. When he heard of Napoleon's defeat, Grouchy conducted
a skilful retreat back to Paris. He then escaped to America  where he remained until 1820
when he returned to France. He was restored to the rank of marshal in 1831.

The most celebrated product of the École Polytechnique, Drouot showed more tactical
initiative than any of the French generals except Napoleon. At Lützen in 1813 he
manhandled a battery of artillery to within almost point-blank range of the allied lines, and
in the resulting
hail of fire the enemy fell back and lost the field. But his most celebrated tactic was the
combination of heavy artillery fire with a cavalry charge, with which he sliced through a
superior Bavarian force at Hanau in 1814. On the return of Napoleon in March 1815
Drouot was rewarded with leadership of the prestigious Imperial
Guard despite his lack of experience as an infantry commander.

D'Erlon volunteered for service in 1782, but was not promoted until he joined the Reims
battalion during the Revolutionary Wars. His Republican spirit and tall, commanding figure
inspired his men who elected him first captain in 1792, and then chef de battaillon in 1795.
Promoted to général de division in 1803 of the veteran 2nd Infantry Division, he was in the
front line at Austerlitz (1805), Jena (1806) and Wagram (1809). During the Peninsular
War a string of mistakes and disputes with fellow generals led to him spending a brief
period in the reserve. When Napoleon fell in 1814 it was revealed that D'Erlon had
maintained his Royalist connections; he gained a prominent position under Louis XVIII,
but nevertheless joined Napoleon in March 1815. After the defeat of the Emperor, D'Erlon
fled to Germany, and did not return to France until the death sentence was lifted from his
head on the accession of Charles X.

squabbling with fellow officers and acting independently of orders. He did, however, fight
with distinction throughout the Peninsular War and put up a strong resistance to Wellington
at the battle of Vittoria in 1813. During the 100 Days he commanded II Corps. After the

captured the burning bridge, but his independent actions were rare and his main role was as
aide-de-camp to Napoleon. The Emperor admired Mouton's loyalty and courage and
created
him Count of Lobau in 1809. Taken prisoner at Dresden, he escaped to France to rally to
Napoleon, but was captured again after Waterloo. He was later made a Marshal of France
and died in 1838 when an old wound reopened.

the Brie Infantry under a false name. His organisational talents advanced him swiftly during
the
Revolution. He enjoyed playing the role of soldier-hero, and his smart uniforms became
renowned in Paris society. Vandamme contracted huge debts and fell under suspicion of
secreting plunder from the Austerlitz campaign of 1805 for himself. Having been recalled
to France for "administrative irregularities", Napoleon entrusted him with the defence of
Belgium which he carried out with aplomb. After Waterloo he was
expelled from France. He lived in the United States from 1816 to 1819. He spent his last

Eylau (1807). During the retreat from Russia in 1812, he was injured in an ambush and
retired to Sweden where Bernadotte made him a Chief Officer of his Legion of Honour.
Gerard never forgave Bernadotte for deserting Napoleon and left secretly for France on
hearing of the Emperor's return. After fighting at Wavre and Ligny he retired to politics,

was immediately promoted to captain by Napoleon. Exelmans joined the chasseurs before
Austerlitz  in 1805, but was captured by the English at the beginning of the Peninsular War
and spent nearly four years as a prisoner of war in Portsmouth. In 1811, he escaped and
was returned to the leadership of a division of chasseurs. During the Bourbon Restoration
of 1814 a letter he wrote proclaiming his continued support for Napoleon was intercepted
and he was forced to go into hiding from which he emerged in 1815 to join the Armée du
Nord. Exelmans tended to be slow to carry out instructions, and before Waterloo he lost
touch with the Prussians contrary to Grouchy's instructions. After Waterloo he went into
exile, but was later forgiven by the Bourbons and made an inspector of cavalry in 1822.

Intellectually overshadowed by his elder brother Richard, Arthur Wellesley was regarded as
fit for no career except the army. He rose through a series of minor commissions to
command the 33rd Foot in 1793, but it was the advent of war with France which
demonstrated his prodigious military abilities. He rose to command
the army in India and then in Spain and Portugal. A meticulous organiser and stern
disciplinarian, Wellesley won respect (though not love) from his troops by always being at
the heart of the battle. Though only of medium build Wellesley had a commanding
presence and his arrival at key points during battle became a symbol of
success to the British troops. Although often considered to be at his best in defensive
battles, Wellesley was also very effective at taking the initiative in offensive battles as his
victories at Salamanca (1812) and Vittoria (1813) show. Much feted for his triumph over
Napoleon in the Peninsular War and the Waterloo campaign, Wellington went on to
become Prime Minister of Great Britain. He died in 1852 and was given a state funeral in
St. Paul's Cathedral.

lived in exile from the age of three. During the Peninsular War he served as Wellington's
aide-de-camp. In 1815, despite his limited military experience, he was given command of a
corps of the Anglo-Allied army. Although the prince's bravery was never in question his
tactical abilities left a lot to be desired. During the campaign he
squandered several units and was only prevented from making more disastrous mistakes at
Waterloo by a bullet wound that caused him to leave the field. In 1840 he succeeded his
father
to become William II, King of Holland.

Rowland Hill received his first commission in 1790. During the Peninsular War he served
as
a brigade and then as divisional commander at Talavera. He contributed greatly to the
success of the war by sweeping up the routed French force at Arroyo dos Molinos. When
separated from Wellington at St. Pierre (1811), he successfully defied the attacks of
Marshal Soult with 15000 men against Soult's 30000. His kindness to his troops
encouraged loyalty and co-
operation amongst his subordinate officers and earned him the nickname of "Daddy Hill".
Wellington liked him for his extraordinary punctuality in obeying orders and because he
lacked
that restless ambition which makes men think more of the opportunities available to
distinguish
themselves than of carrying out orders. In 1825 Hill became a full general and
served as Commander-in-Chief in England from 1828 until 1842.

Picton was a fine soldier with a quick and ruthless self-confidence. Having entered the

captain in 1794 and Governor of Trinidad in 1797. His ruthlessness in restoring order to
the
newly-conquered island led to him being accused of torturing a woman, but after his return
home the British army promoted him to brigadier-general in 1799. At the storm of
Badajoz Picton suggested and carried out the attack by escalade which brought success
where Wellington's main assault had failed. At Quatre Bras, where his veteran 5th Division
withstood the onslaught from Ney, he received a musket ball which broke two ribs, but he
refused to return himself as wounded. He continued fighting on the 17th and 18th and was
shot through the head at Waterloo while leading the decisive charge which beat d'Erlon's
Corps from the heights of Mont St Jean. Picton was renowned for his eccentricity of dress.
He preferred to wear civilian clothes rather than army uniform and was reported as
fighting at Busaco in his night-cap.

regiments in the service. In 1808, he fought in Spain but due to eloping with Wellington's
sister-in-law, his talents were no longer required. During the following years he was
Member of Parliament for Milbourne Port, and upon succeeding to his title in 1812 he sat
in the House of Lords. In 1815 he was given the command of the Anglo-Allied cavalry. At
Waterloo he was shot in the leg; the limb later had to be amputated. Upon seeing his
shattered leg he remarked to Wellington, "By God, Sir, I've lost my leg." The Duke who
was supporting him at the time looked down and remarked, "By God, Sir, so you have!" In
recognition of his services Uxbridge was created Marquis of Anglesey on 23rd June 1815.
Fitted with an artificial limb he served as Lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and was promoted to

Blücher started his military career in the Swedish army, but he was captured by the
Prussians in
1760, during the early stages of the Seven Years War. Following a common practice of the
time, he changed sides to serve in the Prussian 8th Hussar Regiment. Later when he
requested
a promotion from Frederick the Great his request was answered with "Captain Blücher can
take himself to the Devil". Blücher retired at the end of the war, but he rejoined his
regiment
in 1786. During the campaign against Revolutionary France in 1793 he proved himself to
be a
fanatically brave and inspired leader of cavalry. Following the Prussian defeat by the
French at
Jena in 1806, Blücher fought on with the rearguard until he was forced to surrender at
Ratkau.
It was not until after Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign that Blücher again returned
to
active command. In the "War of Liberation" of 1813 he commanded the Army of Silesia
which
maintained intense pressure on Napoleon and pushed home the advantage at Leipzig.
Blücher
advanced into France in 1814 and, after a series of battles against Napoleon, successfully
led
his army to the gates of Paris. In 1815 Blücher was trapped under his horse when it fell at
the
battle of Ligny and command of the Prussian army passed briefly to Gniesenau, who
favoured
a defensive reorganisation in the area of Wavre. Blücher having narrowly escaped capture
by
the French, overturned this decision on his return to the army and marched to Wellington's
assistance at Waterloo. He led the pursuit of the French to Paris before once again retiring
to
his farm. He died on his Silesian estates on 12th September 1819.

Leipzig.
He joined the Prussian army in 1815 with the rank of lieutenant-general and commanded

;Biography
The Second in Command figure represents the taking over of a unit by a subordinate
commander following the death, injury or capture of the unit's original commander. These
temporary battlefield promotions took place all the time, and were often the way an
unknown personality became recognised. Success on the battlefield would often be
rewarded
with confirmation of promotion and / or the awarding of a title after a battle. Failure, if not
resulting in injury or death, could mean ignominy and permanent loss of favour.

;Biography
Lutzow joined the Royal Guard in 1795 and transferred to the cavalry in 1804. He soon
gained
a reputation for his wild behaviour. Wounded at Auerstädt, Lutzow fought his way back
through French lines to join Schill's Freikorps. In 1807, under Gneisenau's leadership, he
participated in the siege of Kolberg. In 1809, Lutzow joined Schill's rebels and was
cashiered.
He was allowed to rejoin the army in 1811 and in 1813 formed his famous black-coated
Freikorps. At Ligny, he was wounded yet again and taken prisoner by the French. He
remained
a senior cavalry commander until his retirement in 1833. He died a year later in Berlin.
