Notes:
**This officer’s surname is often mis-spelled Lewis.
***Some sources say these two units were organized
into a brigade under GM Luders. He is probably GM Nikolai Ivanovich
Liders – colonel-in-chief of the Bryansk Musketeer Regiment (1800-1806).
****Some sources list GL Uvarov as commander of the Russian cavalry
in GL Johann, Prinz zu Liechtenstein’s V Column.
