The Memoirs of Baron De Marbot Late Lieutenant General in the French Army

Edgar G. 2 years ago

I suggest that Napier, although in the Peninsula, was not present at the time of the British Colonel's breaking of his parole. He could only go by what he was told by him. And a man who broke his parole like that was regarded as a dishonest scoundrel.
De Marbot, was actually right there, in Massena's staff, and knew Colonel Waters and is the more believable in my opinion.
