The 14th Infantry Regiment, first bruised by enemy artillery, was then surrounded and annihilated by successive Russian charges, under Napoleon's very eyes. This episode was made famous in the memories of General de Marbot5, then captain and aide-de-camp to Marshal Augereau at the time of the battle. The debris of the 14th line, then formed in a square on a mound, resist the furious assaults of the enemy, and wave their eagle to indicate that they are still holding, while asking for assistance. The Emperor, moved by their courage, asks Augereau to send an officer to them ordering them to leave the mound, to form a square to join the French positions, while a cavalry brigade would move towards them to support Their efforts. Captain Marbot rushes forward. He miraculously manages to pass through a swarm of Russian Cossacks, and to reach the battalion commander to transmit the Emperor's order to him. The battalion commander, seeing a column of Russian grenadiers heading towards his soldiers and the artillery threatening to exterminate them if they left their mound, asks Marbot to save the regimental eagle rather than see it fall into the hands of the enemy. He said: “I see no way to save the regiment. Return to the Emperor, bid him farewell to the 14th of the line who faithfully carried out his orders, and bring him the eagle he had given us and which we can no longer defend, it would be too painful to die of to see it fall into the hands of the enemies ”. Marbot then rushes towards the French lines, the eagle of the 14th of the line under his cloak; he will be injured in the melee which will follow and a cannonball will pierce his hat.

Recently I've been reading the recollections of Elzéar Blaze, an officer in the French army. His accounts are particularly interesting because instead of focusing on the battles and tactics, his book is more of an assortment of ramblings on a soldier's life in the army. One of Blaze's comrades, Laborie, is noted as having brought up the Battle of Eylau constantly: "...he never failed to say, as he sat in front of a bottle of wine or his glass of brandy: 'Ah! We are better here than at Eylau.' This battle of Eylau always came up in his conversation, it served as a subject of comparison, it was for him the superlative of misery. No one could have any merit in the estimation of Laborie if he had not fought in the plain of Eylau." Not long after, our author mentions a conversation with the same man, regarding a very skilled geographer, Malte-Brun. Laborie had this to say: "He's a great bird, your Malte-Brun! I should have liked to see him at Eylau with his geography and snow up to his knees, with his science and no bread, with his merit and nothing to drink. He should have been there, we would have seen if he would have written books."

In the same way as modern soldiers experience it. In Napoleonic times however, there was little to survey such an illness, and it was often brushed off as “cowardice” and the soldier in question executed, or imprisoned. Nonetheless, although scarcely documented, soldiers of the Napoleonic time period were subject to frequent ptsd related mental disorders (French ones especially) from their rigorous campaigns across Europe, personally witnessing your comrades die beside you in the midst of a battle. Perhaps the loud bangs of a drum, the sound of certain musical instruments, the sound of shouting from a regimental official, the crackle of a musket, could all trigger PTSD induced flashbacks. French soldiers of the Russian campaign (what was left of them, that is.) were subject to the aforementioned PTSD induced disorders after returning to France, only to be hurriedly placed back onto campaign. There is a song about the French veterans of the Napoleonic Wars called “Te Souviens-tu” which notes the life of one of Napoleons solders after the conclusion of the war.

The Battle of Eylau, or Battle of Preussisch-Eylau, was a bloody and strategically inconclusive battle on 7 and 8 February 1807 between Napoleon's Grande Armée and the Imperial Russian Army under the command of Levin August von Bennigsen near the town of Preussisch Eylau in East Prussia.[13] Late in the battle, the Russians received timely reinforcements from a Prussian division of von L'Estocq. After 1945, the town was renamed Bagrationovsk as part of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. The engagement was fought during the War of the Fourth Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars. Napoleon's armies smashed the army of the Austrian Empire in the Ulm Campaign and the combined Austrian and Russian armies at the Battle of Austerlitz on 2 December 1805. On 14 October 1806, Napoleon crushed the armies of the Kingdom of Prussia at the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt and hunted down the scattered Prussians at Prenzlau, Lübeck, Erfurt, Pasewalk, Stettin, Magdeburg, and Hamelin. In late January, Bennigsen's Russian army went on the offensive in East Prussia, pushing far to the west. Napoleon reacted by mounting a counteroffensive to the north, hoping to prevent their retreat to the east. After his Cossacks had captured a copy of Napoleon's orders, Bennigsen rapidly withdrew to the northeast to avoid being cut off. The French pursued for several days and found the Russians drawn up for battle at Eylau. In a vicious evening clash, the French captured the village, with heavy losses on both sides. The following day brought even more serious fighting. Early in the battle, a frontal attack by Napoleon failed, with catastrophic losses. To reverse the situation, he launched a mass cavalry charge against the Russians. That bought enough time for the French right wing to throw its weight into the contest. The Russian left wing was soon bent back at an acute angle, and Bennigsen's army was in danger of collapse. A Prussian corps belatedly arrived and saved the day by pushing back the French right. As darkness fell, a French corps tardily appeared on the French left. That night, Bennigsen decided to retreat, leaving Napoleon in possession of a snowy battlefield covered with thousands of dead and wounded. Eylau was the first serious check to the Grande Armée, and the myth of Napoleon's invincibility was badly shaken.[14] However, the French went on to win the war when Tsar Alexander I decided to quit the war and make peace with France after Russia lost the Battle of Friedland.

You should make one for Wellington and Battle of Vitoria.
