General, commander of the cavalry
Emmanuel de Grouchy
France 23 October 1766 – 29 May 1847
In 1814: Commander of the army’s cavalry
At Vauchamps, Grouchy’s cavalry swept around Blücher’s flank and turned a retreat into a slaughter. He was badly wounded at Craonne. He is remembered most, unfairly, for Waterloo the following year.
