Additional Notes

This section is made up of data taken from "EXPEDITION DU MEXIQUE 1861-1867; Récit Politique et Militaire" by Capt. G. Noix [later General], published in Paris 1874 by Librairie Militaire de J. Dumaine, it is a one volume work but it also has an atlas of 6 maps published to go with it. Hopefully this additional data will fill in a few gaps. T.D.H.

The Spanish Division TO&E
Organisation of the Expeditionary Corps (French) TO&E (in French)
The Brigade of General Lorencez in French
Composition of the French Expeditionary Corps under the command of General Forey 1st December 1862
