Welcome!

History:

One of the glorious moments of the 46e Regiment was during the battle of Austerlitz.
There they fought under the command of General Dominique Joseph Rene Vandamme in the 2nd Division of the IV Corps.
General Vandamme's division attacked an area called Staré Vinohrady ("Old Vineyards") and, through talented skirmishing and deadly volleys, broke several Allied battalions.

The decisive attacks on the Allied center by St. Hilaire and Vandamme split the Allied army in two and left the French in a golden strategic position to win the battle.

The battle turned in France's favour, but it was far from over.
Napoleon ordered Bernadotte's I Corps to support Vandamme's left and moved his own command center from Žuráň Hill to St. Anthony's Chapel on the Pratzen Heights.
The difficult position of the Allies was confirmed by the decision to send in the Russian Imperial Guard to counterattack Vandamme's division.
This forced a bloody effort and the only loss of a French standard in the battle (a battalion of the 4th Line Regiment was defeated).
Sensing trouble, Napoleon ordered his own heavy Guard cavalry forward.
These men pulverized their Russian counterparts, but with both sides pouring in large masses of cavalry, no victory was clear.

By 1400 hours, the Allied army had been dangerously separated.
Napoleon now had the option to strike at one of the wings, and he chose the Allied left since other enemy sectors had already been cleared or were conducting fighting retreats.
Doing this, he secured the French victory.
The immense fighting to split the allied lines were highly praised by Napoleon and thus, the 46e, earned their second battle honour since Zurich.
