To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It did not require extraordinary foresight or mental effort to realize how much more useful and how much more effective a move via St GeYy and Moustier and the left bank of the Dyle would have been. If Grouchy was really as undecided as he appears to have been, as to the Prussian line of retreat, he should have had recourse to a 94 PURSUIT OF THE PRUSSIANS [June 18. movement which offered no doubtful advantages. A move across the Dyle by Moustier would have had a very great effect, and if the P...russians had really retreated on Liege, this movement of Grouchy's would still have its advantages. He could have thrown his weight into the fight at Waterloo; Napoleon would not blame him for this assistance, if he knew that the Prussians were out of reach. At 6 a.m. on the morning of the 18th, Grouchy sent another message to Napoleon, stating that further information had been received, which confirmed the news that Blucher was making for Brussels "via Wavre, so as to concentrate there, or to give battle after joining Wellington." Grouchy told Napoleon in his message that he was "start- ing immediately for Wavre." But he himself did not actually start until 9 a.m) He ordered Vandamme to march at 6 A.M., and Gerard at 8 a.m.
