Rather than produce the whole of the passages from Detaille, I have extracted what I hope are pertinent notes which would have a bearing on encompassing the Revolutinary Wars. As I was doing this it seemed to me that there are perhaps parallels between the early history of the French Revolutionary a...
Sorry if you thought I was getting off-topic. That was not my intention.
