To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Next came the Marshals Berthier — ^Prince of Neufchatel — Ney, Mortier, Lefebvre, with other marshals and generals whose corps had been annihilated.
^^ The Emperor mounted a horse as soon as he had passed ; so did a few of those with him : the greater part of them had no horses to ride.
Seven or eight hundred ofiGicers and non-com- missioned ofiGicers followed, walking in order and perfect silence, and carrying the Eagles of their different regiments, which had so often led them to victory. Thi...s was all that remained of 60,000 men.
^^ After them came the Imperial Guard on foot, marching also in order." Four Eagles were lost in the fighting at the passage of the Beresina, where a whole division of Marshal Victor's corps (General Parton- neaux's) was cut off and compelled to surrender.
On the last night, when either massacre under the Russian guns or laying down their arms was all that was left to them, they broke up and buried their Eagles in the ground underneath the snow. The ofl&cers of one regiment, it is told, broke up their Eagle before burying it, burned the flag at their last bivouac fire, mixed the ashes with thawed snow, and swallowed the concoction.
