PATRIOTIC WAR
1812 1)
(P. 386) on 28 May the regiment arrived in Vilnius and is located on the bivouac before reaching the city.
Polk is located not at the bivouac, and in the city.
(P. 391) were 12 Vitebsk, 17th Ore, the 20th had reached Smolensk.
Stopped near Vitebsk. Apparently, Barclay wanted to give battle, but the arrival of Nikolai Sergeyevich Menshikov, Prince Bagration ad'yutanta, forced Barclay to continue the retreat.
(P. 391) During the retreat happened a misunderstanding between them (ie - say, between Barclay and Bagration).
Barclay separated Prince Bagration, who had to retreat from the Niemen to the Dnieper River in front of the enemy, overwhelming its excessive strength. One must imagine the situation of Prince Bagration. The word "misunderstanding" more than irrelevant, it depicts their relationship in a false light. Prince Bagration, without any doubt, just scolded for Barclay's senseless orders. Napoleon could not forgive his brother Jerome unfathomable glorious retreat of Prince Bagration.

(P. 394) This event, real or fictional, remained in the folk tradition as a sign of hope brought by the new commander in chief.
This event is real and not fictitious. I saw with my own eyes, like an eagle soaring above the annual chief, who took off his cap, crossed himself, and shouted "Hurrah!" 2).
(P. 394) On the day of arrival to Kutuzov's army regimental commander Kridner ill and had to transport patients to go to Moscow.
Carl Antonovich Kridner ill. In Vitebsk, Barclay wanted to stop. The position has been selected, the regiment took place assigned to him. The arrival of the wing - Nikolai Sergeyevich Menshikov ad'yutanta, ad'yutanta Prince Bagration, Barclay made to continue the retreat inside edge. Prince Bagration asked Barclay to rush to join in Smolensk.
At two o'clock in the afternoon we marched at an accelerated pace and without dnevok went to Smolensk. The regimental commander, Charles Antonovich Kridner, driving down the road on which we retreated, hit a 9-th company, standing in the gun. The lieutenant of the 9th Company, Pavel Ivanovich Khrapovitsky, sat not tronuvshis away. Kridner with his usual rudeness and asked what he was doing when his company was ready for the campaign. Khrapovitsky replied that the pack just before he went, and feeling the need to eat, he ate breakfast. At this Kridner he said, "but, anyway, whether you're standing in his platoon, or another idiot."
After that, the Semenov regiment officers petitioned to be transferred to the army, our colonels followed their example.
The next day our corps commander, Crown Prince Constantine Pavlovich, came to us, spoke of the discipline. All the officers responded that they understand the importance of discipline, but with such rude soldiers have lost all respect for him.The Grand Duke refused the command of a regiment Kridneru. The commander of the 1st Battalion, Fedor was replaced by Postnikov Kridnera last rode for the regiment to Borodino position. Seeing that the army is preparing to give battle, Kridner affected patients and went to St. Petersburg.
(P. 395) Even the Mohammedans, pagans and Jews, said the witness, did not remain indifferent.
Jews did not exist in the ranks of the Russian army.
(P. 397) The Lieutenant Tatishchev I-st and the ensign were brought Olenin dead in the middle of the square have died and another suffered a concussion Olenin nucleus in the chest.
Tatishchev and Ensign Nikolai A. Olenin had been killed on the spot a single nucleus, Peter A. Olenin wounded in the head.

(P. 397) At midnight, orders were received to retreat to Prince Kutuzov Mozhaisk.
When ended the battle of Borodino, it orders that the soldiers did not remove backpacks, because the next day to resume the fight. After receiving a report of dead chiefs parts, the top again quashed the intention to fight the enemy. August 27th, we started to hike early in the morning. The same number of the enemy with a special effort to attack our arriergard, probably in order to find out what impressed us Borodino battle. The commander of the 48 - th Chasseur Regiment, Col. James A. Potemkin, particularly distinguished himself in this affair, which was awarded the George third degree.
(P. 399) Here we stood, and the next day.
September 2nd, we stopped in the village of punks. Commander ordered to take the pots and cook food to soldiers. At 4 pm the same day we were in the Ryazan road before reaching the crossing to Moscow - the river, turned right l went on back roads, crossed the road to Ryazan to the old Kaluga, 60 miles have passed without a halt. In a word we made famous flanking movement, which is not permitted the enemy to retreat but the southern areas untouched by the war, forcing him to continue his retreat to the ruined road, which he went to Moscow.
(P. 400) added a battle lay in store, cloth, boots, boots, jacket and made it possible to fix the gear.
Boots and coats in 1812, we have not seen.
(P. 400) Simple huts hastily put first, they became larger and more comfortable, some have even fire-places, for soldiers were built in villages and baths, etc.
Bani soldiers staged not in the villages and in the camp, in dugouts,
The officers were not tents, but also the dugout, which had fireplaces.
(P. 401) Two days later, our partisans reported that the enemy was cleared to Moscow and took Borovsk.
Not our partisans denounced, namely guerrilla commander Col. Seslavin informed about the performance of Napoleon from Moscow.
(P. 401) Semyonovna moved in the main body, under the personal command of Field Marshal to Maloyaroslavets.
ogdanovich positively wrong - went to the chief Maloyaroslavets before the movement of our troops, it was immediately after the dispatch of speech Seslavin enemy of Moscow. At 7 o'clock in the morning we set out from camp and Tarutino after noon approached Maloyaroslavets, a few kernels flew over our heads, no one harmlessly. The regiment halted in mind Maloyaroslavets, regardless of enemy gunfire. In the evening came the frost.
(P. 402) The share of captain Koshkarova honor to shelter themselves from Serene.
Our colonel Alexander Pisarev invited to spend the night in the chief lieutenant of the tent of the 9th Company, Alexander Vasilyevich Chicherin. His Serene Highness accepted the offer and spent the night in quiet
/ / With 34
tent Chicherin. Nikolai Ivanovich was Koshkarov battalions ad'yutantom 2 - the second battalion.
(P. 402) The cannonade was without any value
Barrage could not be without significance, since the inside of the stubborn battle lasted a whole night. By the morning of Dmitry Dokhturov forced the enemy to retreat. Disaster began the enemy from the frost, their frozen corpses were we come across the road, where we went.
(Pages 402 and 403) against the cold could still fight, thanks to distributed at most of the people and sheepskin boots.
I repeat once again that sheepskin coats and felt boots, we have not seen all winter campaign continued.
(P. 404) arrived there not long, for classes of apartments, Semenov regiment Lieutenant Buynitsky suddenly ran into the same house (where he was Kutuzov).
The lieutenant was listed Buynitsky in the 2nd battalion. Prince Ivan D. Shcherbatov (grandson of the historian) was sent from the 3rd battalion headquarters in for orders. Zhirkevich wrong: the house suddenly ran Ensign Prince Ivan D. Sherbatov 3) and found there chief, not a lieutenant Buytsitsky, and the conversation took place with the first commander in chief, not the last.
(P. 405) Bend eagles below. Let them bow to the fellows.
Kutuzov ordered carrying the banners pod'ehat closer and said about the Eagles, "they raised their noses." Then they lowered the cavalry, so that the banners were developed. On one of them pictured the inscription: "Austerlitz."
Commander pointed a finger at her with the words: "that's unfortunate Austerlitz, in which, before God, I am not guilty."
Then Colonel Alexander Pisarev invited the chief to drink tea, with those officers were not. In the suite was commander Vasily Zhukovsky, who have read the tea Pisarev just published a fable by Ivan Krylov, A. "The Wolf in the kennels." With the words: "You are gray, but I, my friend, saddle," Chief took off his cap, 4).

(Pages 405 and 406) in St. Petersburg say, brag. - I was reprimanded for being masters of the Guards regiments, with the battle of Borodino, gave a diamond crosses, as a reward.
- Do not you think this scene is like a scene from a tragedy, "Dmitry Donskoy?"
- Come, my friends, the fullness that you, not me this honor.
- Hurray, hurray, hurray! good Russian soldier! ..
Scenes like this, during the campaign was not enough.
On the complaint of Peter, a reprimand, if received in-chief assigned to them [by] Borodino [mu] cases [y] awards, crosses [s] with diamonds, there was no question, as no comparisons and scenes of tragedy, "Dmitry Donskoy" . Zhirkevich positively enjoys its own author's imagination. Never Kutuzov did not get up on the bench, did not shout hurray. First, he was too clumsy for this, old and obese, and secondly, in his character never manifested theatricality. He always carried himself with dignity, and we have never forgotten military decorum. Absolutely no carnival scenes were not.
(P. 406) In Kopysov again stood for three days. Arrived here from St. Petersburg, VK Constantine Pavlovich and was immediately appointed commander of the Guards Corps.
At the bivouac under the red, we have learned from the clerks of the Working Capital of books, that Major-General James A. Potemkin 5) appointed by the regimental commander Guards Semenov regiment. In Kopysov Jacob A. Potemkin was celebrating with us our regimental holiday.
Tsarevich Constantine Pavlovich VK was appointed commander of the corps to our right from the start of the campaign.
(P. 407) Often, even the guards had seen the soldiers, freezing on the road, although in Kopysov received coats.
Again I repeat that we have no coats and no Guard soldiers I have not seen a frozen or freezing. At night the company spread a portion of their coats and snow fell on them, closely adhering to one another, and another part of the coats served her general cover. We, the ensign, lay between the soldiers spent the night quietly, feeling cold, and getting up in the morning with a general alert and cheerful bed 6).The officers themselves were sewn tents, which were busy on the packs.

Potemkin was appointed commander of the regiment in orders under red.
1813
(P. 413) All the time the armistice, which lasted until early August, the regiment remained in Reichenbach, where the headquarters and chief Barclay - de - Tolly.
The regiment remained in Reichenbach's not where it was flat Barclay - de - Talley, and in the village of Lang - Bilan, which extended for three miles.
(P. 414) The command of Barclay - de - Tolly go to Max, if the road is occupied by the French in Bohemia, caught Osterman at Pirna in the same position it was in when there was a battle Dresden, ie, the position of the front of Pirna , resting on the left flank of the Elbe, and the right to Tsegist.
At the opening of hostilities, in 1813 I was attached to the 2nd Battalion 7). In Pirna was Vandamme, and we were sent to the fortress Kenigshteyn, where Dresden after the failure we received orders to move at an accelerated pace in connection with the main apartment. Crossing the road from Pirna in Teplitz, our bosses learned that Vandamme had sent part of his body, which came into Bohemian mountains. Then we thought about the connection to the main apartment and hurried to catch up with the enemy. 3rd battalion joined the hot thing, which aims - to make clear the enemy occupied them top of the first mountain pass in the Bohemian mountains. through which, as mentioned above, paved road from the peaceful to Toeplitz. Our third battalion brilliantly served its purpose - took the top of the mountain.
Two miles from the area where the 3rd battalion, met with the enemy. was a village, which lies parallel to the road leading from Myrna to Toeplitz occupied by the enemy, bombarded the road. Three into companies of the 2nd battalion was ordered to occupy the village. Under the command of Captain Gennady Ivanovich Kaznakova, which at the beginning of the shooting wounded by a bullet in the head (Prince Broglio 2nd Kaznakova replaced), the village was occupied by us. At this time the Cossack rode up and said that the highway is occupied by the enemy.
/ / C 37
We had to retreat around the corner. It was night. After a difficult transition, where they often had to go on are mountain streams, we reached the village, before the entry into which you had the brightly lit building. Approaching him because with all the caution, we saw that it was an inn, in which the assembled people drinking beer, and probably had heard them talking about the cannonade. Our sudden appearance astonished them. Prince Broglio demanded of the conductor, promising him 12 ducats if he would bring us safely to our troops. The conductor had promised and promised. Jacob A. Potemkin was glad when we came to it late at night - battalions flag was with us. Our loss on August 16th during the occupation of Mount 3rd Battalion commander of the 7th company of Gabriel S. Okunev wounded in both legs bullet, the lieutenant of the 9th Company Alexander Chicherin fatally shot a bullet into his right side, died in Prague, where he was buried at the Russian cemetery, Prince Ivan D. Sherbatov 8), slightly wounded in the leg, stayed with the team.
Early on the morning of the 17th we came to the area where there was the 17 th August 1813 the glorious Kulmskoe battle, which gave a new twist to hostilities, happy for our arms 9).
Since the beginning of the case Kulmskogo Count Osterman severed right hand of the nucleus. He was replaced by Alexei Petrovich Ermolov. Thought to Kulmskoe.the battle belongs to the Count Osterman, Aleksei Petrovich Ermolov glory belongs Kulmskogo case.
Andrey Yafimovich, commanding a brigade consolidated in 1812, under the command of Kulm the 2nd Battalion. When we met the enemy, he was several steps ahead of his battalion, wounded arm would not let him ride. He was hit by a bullet in the stomach, after which he died six days later and was buried with all military honors. Alexander P. and King of Prussia attended the funeral, the soldiers cried.Alexander Pavlovich said, "You bury his own father."
Andrey Yafimovich 14-year-old joined the army when Pavel Petrovich. He was instructed to bring in a team of army soldiers Petersburg, transferred to the Guards.He perfectly fulfilled the mission entrusted to him, whereupon he was transferred to the ensign Pavel Petrovich Semenov regiment. Courage, courtesy of the nature of Andrei Ivanovich was a model of a Russian officer.
Ensign de Araujo Silva, the son of a Portuguese general who was killed by the French in Portugal in 1808, died of wounds in Prague and is buried at the Russian cemetery (called erroneously Araji Shubin).
The younger brother of Prince Charles and Broglio Captain Marquis de Martre - killed. The regiment served three brothers Prince Broglio, a senior, was killed at Austerlitz.
/ / In 38
Upon learning of the death of his brother, Prince Broglio locked himself in his tent.On August 18 in the morning to visit his friends came and saw the prince sleeping in a tent near the murdered brother. Prince Broglio night, tormented by the thought that his brother's body is thrown on s'edenie animals, went to find his brother dead. For him it was unclear how he could find him: the night in late August are dark, our battalion during the battle Kulmskogo went several times with bayonets.
Austerlitz Gavrila Semenovich Okunev also set off to find the body of the murdered brother, but could not find him.
The sons of immigrants are educated in the 1st Corps of Cadets, a perfect master of the Russian language, distinguished for his bravery and were loved by kak comrades and soldiers.
1814
January 1, 1814 in Basel, in the presence of Alexander, Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia, we crossed the Rhine.
19th March 1814 I came to Paris at the head rifle platoon of the 2nd Grenadier Company, commanded by Prince Broglio. Father of princes Broglio was beheaded at the beginning of the French Revolution. In 1814, when we came to France, I served as an ensign in the company of Prince Broglio. During the occupation of the apartment, the landlord, for our allotted, met us on our knees. It was a valet beheaded his father Prince Broglio.
In Paris, guard duty was facilitated by the officers were not required to reside at the guard. The guards officers visited his guard a few times during the day and when they want. One day I went to see the guard and when the question: "who rode" followed gravely reply: "Vyazmitinov passed." I did not think that this was Vyazmitinov 10).
We set out from Paris on May 10th. Our first move was St. - Germain Anle (St. Germain Enlay), where the first day courier arrived from London (where at that time was Alexander Pavlovich). We have learned through it on our return to Russia by sea and were ordered to send our patients to Paris.
