Jean-Victor Poncelet

I rewrote the article (though, as you can see from my workshop layout, it's not quite done - two sections need to be written, the "later years" section needs to be expanded, the article in general should probably contain more details, and possibly a "legacy" section should be added. However, I hope you find my rewrite satisfactory. You can comment on the article's talk page. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 21:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll correct these. I already have the Didion document, and am currently collaborating with Randomblue on the article. I can only read French a bit, so I'm relying on Randomblue (who can read French far better than I can) to supply the facts from that document. However, I think according to the document he was left for dead by his fellow soldiers - he may have fought the enemy to the last minute, but his fellow soldiers deserted him.

Here what is in Didion on P. 166:

• During the night of the 18th November 1812, the members of the excellent troops who have not followed the Marshall (Ney) had no hope to escape the Russian army; they were cut, they have to find an arrangement, and after long talks they capitulate and were declared prisoners.

Randomblue seems to be inactive right now, so could you help provide page numbers for any interesting facts worthy of inclusion in the article you can find? Thanks. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 16:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pierre. I, like you, speak fluent French so I will not need help translating Didion, but you can always join in the actual fact searching! My University library has the second book you recommend so I'll may have a look at it some time. BTW, why do you know so much about Poncelet? Are you related? An alumnus from l'X? A historian?
