"No sooner had the 15e Légère and 33e Ligne arrived and
deployed than they marched on the enemy, nothing could resist their attack.
The 15e was directed at the bridge and chased a corps 10 times more numerous than they, penetrated Sokolnitz,
intermingled with the Russians, slaughtering with the bayonet all that dared oppose them."
Light Infantry
| raditionally light infantry (or skirmishers) were soldiers whose job was to provide a skirmishing screen ahead of the main body of infantry, harassing and delaying the enemy advance. Light infantry often fought in close co-ordination with line infantry, where they could screen the line infantry from harassing fire, and the line infantry could intervene to protect the light infantry from attacks of enemy cavalry.
More often than not it was the light infantry storming the gates of farms and towns. For example at Waterloo the gate of Hougoumont was stormed by the 1st Light Regiment, and the gates of La Haye Sainte was attacked by the 13th Light. In La Haye Sainte the French broke down the outer door of the passage through the stables. It was here where both sides crossed bayonets. The attackers were pushed back but the French light infantrymen climbed up onto the roof of the stables and fired down into the yard at the German riflemen. The riflemen attempted to block up holes in the walls made by artillery fire but the French scaled the walls and bursted into the farmyard.
Napoleon's light infantry enjoyed a great reputation in Europe. Prussian general Scharnhorst maintained that the individual French soldier, epitomized by the light infantryman, had decided most of the tactical engagements of the war. Scharnhorst wrote:
The physical ability and high inteligence of the common man enables the French light infantryman to profit from all advantages offered by the terrain and the general situation, while the phlegmatic Germans, Bohemians and Dutch form an open ground and do nothing but what their officers order them to do." |
