Order of battle at the Battle of Monte Settepani explained

The Monte Settepani order of battle is a detailed list of the Austrian and French forces that fought in the Battle of Monte Settepani from 24 June to 7 July 1795. The combined forces of Habsburg Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont attacked the Republican French army and compelled it to retreat to a more defensible position. There are no sources for a Sardinian order of battle for 1795, so only the Austrian and French armies are listed.

Notes and References

  1. The list did not specify which of the Karlstadter Grenz regiments this was.
  2. In January 1796, the Auxiliary Corps was led by GM Giovanni Marchese di Provera, but at Monte Settepani it was led by Argenteau.
  3. This was sometimes known as the Caprara Regiment (Pivka, p. 84).
  4. It was not specified whether this was 1st Garrison Regiment Nr. 5 or 2nd Garrison Regiment Nr. 6 (Pivka, p. 82).
  5. Nafziger's list says "2/56th". Since the 2nd Battalion is already included in the 56th Line Demi-Brigade, it seems reasonable to conclude it is a typographical error for the missing "2/46th" in Miollis' brigade.
