Augereau's Attack

 

Back

After marching through Jena, VII Corps found themselves on the left flank of the French Army and had the unenviable task of marching through steep sided ravines and a large forest.

 

 

The Skirmishers and Fusiliers of Augereau's VII Corps advance through the Isserstadt Forest on the left flank.

 

 
 

The French emerge from the forest to face the Saxons of Zeschwitz's Division.
