1757: Advance Astride the Neisse

September 4, 1757

Translated and Edited With Additional Materials By Neil Cogswell


His Royal Highness has resolved to make a movement with the whole army. This decision caused the postponement of the march that the Reserve Corps and General Nadasdy were to have made today.

The better to ensure the success of their designs, His Royal Highness and Marshal Daun once again reconnoitred the neighbourhood of the Prussian camp, which has not changed its position. Regulations now permit all the generals to bring forward their heavy equipages. Until now, these had remained in the rear.

General-of-Cavalry Count Serbelloni re-joined the army. He had been obliged to absent himself in order to take care of the wound that he had received to his hand at the Battle of Krzeczor. The Prussian corps, which went to Silesia under the orders of General Fouque, has been sent to reinforce the garrisons of Neisse, Glatz et cetera.
