I deliberately chose the better known and more important from an operational standpoint Marshals who had decent portraits avalable Obviously not everyone could be selected Objections were raised in peer review that this section was too heavy on pictures and too light on text Augereau s picture was unfortunately deleted Lefebvre quite honestly was more of a political appointee than an impressive commander in the field Suchet is more obscure and a somewhat late appointee but a fine commander nevertheless The gallant Poniatowski was promoted posthumously Saint Cyr is not obscure but he was a later Marshal and really was not so important in the grande scheme of things his reputation being largely created by his own post war writings and activities But I tell you what let s open up four more slots in the Marshal s gallery I recommend they be filled by Bessi res Mortier Poniatowski and either Saint Cyr or Suchet depending on whether you prefer a show horse or a warhorse
