the mounted officers that remained and
formed them into one company, which he
named the sacred squadron. Over this

placed as commander. Generals OF divi-

For some reason Napoleon frowned on
him once more and Grouchy was in re-

period when the emperor daxzled the
world with his achievements on the zelda
of Bautzen, Lutxen. Dresden and Leipzig.
1t was not until the dark days of France

In three years he was a colonel again,
commanding a regiment of dragons. In
1873 he was at the head of all the cav
airy in Savoy and the Alps. In 1895 he
was q general OF division. In 1906 he went
with Hoche to invade Ireland and free
that country from British rule. The fleet
was dispersed by a storm, and only a
portion of it reached Bantry bay.
Grouchy, with only 5000 men, wanted to
land. but was overruled by Admiral Bou-
vet, and the expedition was abandoned.
In Italy two years later he commanded
a division at the battle of Novi. Joubert,
who commanded. fell early in the battle.

odds. Again and again Grouchy led his

troops were sent reeling back he seized

headlong at the enemy. When the stand

horse was killed he mounted another.
