In the Montenotte campaign between 10 and 28 April 1796, General Napoleon Bonaparte's French Army of Italy broke the link between Feldzeugmeister Johann Peter Beaulieu's Austrian army and Feldmarschallleutnant Michelangelo Alessandro Colli-Marchi's Sardinian army. In subsequent engagements, the French defeated the Austrians, pursued Colli to the west, and forced the Sardinians to withdraw from the First Coalition against France. Actions were fought at Voltri (now a suburb of Genoa) on 10 April, Monte Negino (Legino) on 11 April, Montenotte on 12 April, Millesimo on 13 April, Second Battle of Dego on 14–15 April, Ceva on 16 April, San Michele Mondovi on 19 April, and Mondovì on 21 April.[1]

Notes

  1. ^ Smith, p 112. There is some dispute over the date of this battle. Smith lists 22 April, David G. Chandler and Boycott-Brown 21 April, and Fiebeger 20 April!
  2. ^ Boycott-Brown, p 142
  3. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Total army strength is from Fiebeger. His divisional strengths are not used, but his brigade commanders generally agree with Smith.
  4. ^ Boycott-Brown, pp 195-196. Boycott-Brown lists the new demi-brigade numbers and strengths for the 1st through 4th Divisions, but no brigade commanders. His strengths are the same as Smith's.
  5. ^ Smith, p 113. Smith's Borghetto order of battle appears to present an accurate state from early April. Smith lists the old demi-brigade numbers, numbers of battalions, brigade commanders, and division strengths. These were used except as noted.
  6. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Fiebeger places Cervoni in Laharpe's division.
  7. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Fiebeger lists Rusca in place of Victor.
  8. ^ Smith, p 113. Smith lists Sérurier's brigadiers as Pelletier, Fiorella, and Miollis.
  9. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Fiebeger lists only Guieu and Pelletier.
  10. ^ Boycott-Brown, p 266. Boycott-Brown only mentions Guieu and Fiorella in his account of the battle of Mondovì.
  11. ^ Smith, p 113. The 7th, 8th, and 9th were rated as coast divisions.
  12. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Fiebeger places Verne in Garnier's division.
  13. ^ Boycott-Brown, pp 167-168. Boycott-Brown lists Austrian organization, regiments, numbers of battalions and squadrons, and locations. Though Kerpen, Schübirz, and Pittoni are given as division commanders, their commands were brigade-sized and they held the rank of General-Major, i.e., brigadiers. Therefore they are listed here as unattached brigades.
  14. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Fiebeger gives a total of 28,000, which may be more accurate than the theoretical numbers shown here. Fiebeger lists Argenteau (Liptay, Ruccavina, Pittoni, Sallich) and Sebottendorf (Kerpen, Schubirz, Nicoletti, Roselmini) as having four brigades each.
  15. ^ Fiebeger, p 8. Boycott-Brown lists no commander for this brigade. Fiebeger lists 'Sallich' as the brigade commander at Tortona.
  16. ^ Boycott-Brown, p 348. There were about 1,500 cavalry, not included in the Austrian total.
  17. ^ Smith, pp 113-114. Neapolitan units are listed in the Lodi and Borghetto orders of battle.
  18. ^ Smith, p 112. This is listed in the Millesimo order of battle. Smith incorrectly lists the freikorps as Gyulai IR # 32.
  19. ^ Boycott-Brown, pp 260-261. Boycott-Brown's order of battle for Ceva is used here.
  20. ^ Smith, p 112. La Marina and Monferrat fought at Dego.
  21. ^ Smith, p 112. The 3rd Grenadiers fought at Millesimo.
