I have read with interest your article on Eylau, particularly the effect of cold weather on men, horses and equipment. I agree with most of your conclusions among others the difficulty of moving masses of men and horse and artillery over frozen ground. I do have some reservations though regarding man and beast's ability to cope with harsh weather conditions. You mention that you made a practical experiment with a greatcoat that froze during the night. I assure you that you would have a different result if you wear it on your person and move about exerting yourself. The body generates enough heat and moisture to keep the greatcoat soft and warm. I have also made a riding trip in -20C and snowy conditions on an arab horse, a race horse if you will. Admittedly it was on a road and only for an hour. Yes, it was pretty darn cold, but even then my body and the horse generated enought heat to keep us reasonably warm. The only trouble were the iron stirrups that made the feet cold. I have heard that you can use wooden stirrups in cold weather!! Regarding equipment I assume that one or two discharges of a weapon makes it warm. I read that after about twenty shots the musket becomes to hot to handle, at least the barrel.

Graham Morris:
I agree with your comments concening the fact that you come from colder climbes, however, given the state of the men and horses, plus the amount of care that would have to be been given to each-horse-man, on campaign(in 1807), then one must consider the fact that we cannot put "new" ideas onto old battlefield situations?
Best Regards,
Graham

I have now recieved over 100 emails concerning my Eylau article; some good, others-well-very disturbing in as far as Napoleonic glory is concerned!
As I have stated in a previous posting, I will try and cover the "whole" battle, but time, at the moment is given over to other projects.
After a "possible" visit to the site this year, I will indeed expand the Eylau article, but please give me a chance to work on other projects!
Very best regards to all,
Graham

Thanks for the invaluable information on the battle of Eylau..I was doing research tonight so that I can build a map for my club (we play a Napoleonic mod for AC/Fight Back). Love your diorama pics, great stuff. Thanks again,

An impressively comprehensive site. My main interest is the Russian army of the 7 YW; I have a fair amount of data on the British, Prussians, Austrians and other German states.
