by an eyewitness is painfully interesting:
"Within fifteen hours after the battle was
over, we entered Montebello, where were only

proach of the enemy's columns, were returning
timdly one by one, watching and listening
tsharply, to fnh out the condition of their hJuses
Corpses covered the approaches to the town and
filled the streets, those of the Austrian in the
proportion of 4 to Of the Allies. While M.

the attitudes in which they had been struck.
Bodies strewn in pools of blood, furniture brok
en-, walls grooved by balls, doors and windows
smashed, bayonets bent and twisted, muskets
which had been used as clubs all this made up
one of those scenes which are never forgotten.
