caption: "Emperor Napoleon at Jena" by Horace Vernet shows an incident from the battle. As the emperor ordered a general attack, a guardsman took off his bearskin hat and shouted "Forward". Napoleon rebuked the soldier, "Only a beardless youth would presume to judge in advance what I should do."[1]
