No return (as usual) from King Joseph’s Royal Guards, who had,
however, as Martinien’s lists show, 11 officers killed and wounded,
probably therefore 150 to 200 casualties in rank and file. Also no
returns from Artillery of Armies of the Centre and Portugal, from
whom Martinien shows 9 officer-casualties, or from the fractions
of the Army of the North present (3rd Line, &c.); the last show 3
officer-casualties in Martinien. It is obvious that the official total
is several hundreds too small.

This total, as is obvious, much exceeds the 12,654 given as the total

representing his available troops. These tables omit the following
French battalions which were all undoubtedly on the Pyrenean frontier
in July 1813 as they formed parts of the armies of the North and
Portugal or of the old Bayonne Reserve in the returns of May, and are
all found again present in the returns of September--1/3rd Line, 2/34th
Line, 1 & 2/40th Line, 1 & 2/105th Line, 4/116th Line, 4/117th, 2/10th
Ligne: i.e. 8-1/2 battalions, which easily account for the 4,600 men
short in Soult’s total. After the battles of the Pyrenees, in which
Maucune’s and Vandermaesen’s divisions were so cut up that they had to
be re-formed with new units, the following battalions, whose existence
is concealed by Soult in his July table, were drafted in to them--1 &
3/40th Line into Vandermaesen’s division, 1/3rd, 1 & 2/105th, 2/10th
Léger, into Maucune’s. Obviously then, they were available, though
omitted. The 4/116th and 4/117th (a fragment of four companies) came
into the fighting divisions later, but must have been somewhere behind
the Bidassoa all the time (having belonged to the old Bayonne Reserve).
_Officers and

This makes the total available for service in the field:
Infantry 72,664

Total 79,811
while Soult only gave himself credit for 69,543, including the Reserve,
for his field army.
In addition, there were half-trained conscripts at Bayonne 5,595.
Garrisons of San Sebastian 3,185, Santoña 1,465, Pampeluna 3,550 =
8,200. Also sick 14,074, and detached 2,110.
Finally, ‘Troupes non comprises dans les organizations,’ or ‘troupes
hors ligne,’ i. e. artillery, engineers, sappers, gendarmerie à cheval,
train, équipages militaires, &c. = 9,000. Gross total about 122,367.

N.B.--Only those of Ross’s and Campbell’s brigades are available in
detail, those of Byng’s brigade are nowhere found, but are known to
have been slight--under 100 in all. It is most curious that not one
officer-casualty appears to have occurred either in the 1/3rd or in the
1st Provisional Battalion, Byng’s only units engaged at Roncesvalles.

Portuguese total unascertainable; the casualties of 2nd Sorauren and
Beunza, fought on the same day, being lumped together in the return
at 1,120. But at 2nd Sorauren they were fairly light: from the fact
that Stubbs’s Portuguese brigade had 6 officer-casualties this day,
Lecor’s 4, and Madden’s 3, it might be guessed that the ‘other ranks’
casualties may have been about 300 in all.

GENERAL TOTAL OF ARMY 101 1,207 277 8,268 45 2,665 12,563
No figures for Artillery, Engineers, Train, or other auxiliary
services, or for General Staff. Martinien’s lists supply 4 casualties
of generals (Conroux, Schwitter, Rignoux, Meunier), and 12 of staff
officers. There must have been appreciable casualties in the other
services, especially men captured from the Train at the Yanzi disaster.
Soult’s figures are always unreliable (as witness Albuera). The
details above contain some ‘moral impossibilities’--e. g. the Return
gives 63rd Line of Abbé’s Division 193 casualties, _not including
one officer_. But Martinien’s lists supply one officer-casualty at
Maya, two at Beunza, two at Yanzi. Similarly 58th Line of Conroux has
in the Official Return 473 casualties, including only 5 officers--1
wounded and 4 prisoners. A reference to Martinien shows 2 officers
killed (one the colonel!) and 5 wounded--adding the 4 prisoners we get
11 officer-casualties to 473 men: quite a possible percentage, which
Soult’s is not.
Captain Vidal de la Blache (i. p. 280) gives a casualty list differing
slightly from the above. It runs: Foy 556, Maucune 2,457, Lamartinière
981, Darmagnac 2,225, Abbé 253 [quite impossible], Maransin 1,059,
Conroux 2,387, Vandermaesen 1,480, Taupin 1,202, Cavalry 72; total
12,071.
