On the 29th of July we attacked at dawn the Prince of Orange at Neerwinden, and after twelve hours of hard fighting, under a blazing sun, entirely routed him.

I was of the third squadron of the Royal Roussillon, and made five charges.

One of the gold ornaments of my coat was torn away, but I received no wound.

During the battle our brigadier, Quoadt, was killed before my eyes.

The Duc de Feuillade became thus commander of the brigade.
