Explanation of abbreviations used in the orders of battle: Numbers in parenthesis ( ) after a regiment indicate the number of battalions present. For example, the 17th Legere Infantry Regiment (1) of Montfort's Brigade had only one battalion.

For smaller formations, such as artillery batteries, the numbers in parenthesis indicate officers/other ranks present. For example, the 7/ 3rd Horse Artillery (2/60) had two officers and sixty other ranks available.

Where exact sub-formations are known, they are listed as follows: 1/2/Fus/2nd Silesian Infantry Regiment which means the 1st, 2nd, and Fusilier Battalions of the 2nd Silesian Infantry Regiment. Cavalry units had squadrons instead of battalions, such as the 1/2/3/4/Silesian Cuirassier Regiment which means the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Squadrons of the Silesian Cuirassier Regiment.
