The first day of the Battle of Bautzen 1813.

An interesting site providing details of the engagement.

intresting fact I was not aware of:

One minor French loss was Jomini, who had been serving as Ney's chief of staff. He was recommended for promotion to General of Division after Bautzen, but the promotion was blocked by Berthier. In August Jomini switched sides, joining the Allies and denying Ney his skills and advice

thanks for sharing the link

I didn't know of the exact circumstances, so this is quite interesting.....
