Notes:
* On June 18, III Corps’ 3rd Cavalry Division, along
with the remainder of VI Corps and I Cavalry Corps, were part of Napoleon’s
main army at the Battle of Waterloo.
** Some sources state Colonel Jean-Charles Brice replaced
Billard as brigade commander.
*** Some sources spell this general’s surname Logarde.
**** Some sources list Colonel Jean-Baptiste Saviot as the regimental commander;
however, Saviot is the regimental commander of 13th Dragoon Regiment.
