Hauptmann Münich mentions that he had taken this order of battle from the registry of the War Archives, but that an alternative order of battle is given in 'Völderndorff', volume 1, page 84, by which he meant Kriegsgeschichte von Bayern unter König Maximilian Joseph I by Major Edward Baron von Völderndorff und Waradein (Munich, 1826). Völderndorff's order of battle is less detailed and shows a few differences. JH.
