On one of these occasions, Labedoyere got a grape-shot in his 344 MEMOIRS OF THE BARON DE MARBOT foot, and Watteville a dislocated shoulder, his horse being killed under him by a cannon-ball. Thus of all the staff Sub- lieutenant Le Couteulx and I remained, and I could not leave the marshal alone with that young officer, who, though brave enough, had no experience. Wishing to retain me, he said, * Go, and get dressed ; if you can then sit your horse, come back to me. ' I went to the first field...-hospital ; the crowd of wounded was enormous, and lint had run short. A doctor put into my wound some of the coarse tow which is used as wadding for cannon, and the rough fibres gave me a good deal of pain. Under other circumstances I should have gone to the rear, but now every man had to display all hi« energy, and I went back to the marshal. I found him very anxious, having just heard that the Austrians had taken half of Aspern from Massena. That village was taken and retaken many times. Essling was being vigorously attacked at that very instant, and bravely defended by Boudet's division.

By this time there was NO Louis XV11. As a child, and imprisoned in the Temple, in the charge of cruel, heartless ruffians, he was debased at age 6-19 by drink and coarse treatment, so that his fate was never known. Obviously he was maltreated to death the poor child.

I suggest that Napier, although in the Peninsula, was not present at the time of the British Colonel's breaking of his parole. He could only go by what he was told by him. And a man who broke his parole like that was regarded as a dishonest scoundrel. De Marbot, was actually right there, in Massena's staff, and knew Colonel Waters and is the more believable in my opinion.
