The Rapp Mems., English edition, state "These were commanded by a brave officer with a wooden leg, called Brechtel ; a ball carried it of during the action, and knocked him down. "Look," he said, to one of his gunners, "for another leg, in waggon No. 5." He fitted it on, and continued his firing." No 'captain' mentioned. The French ed., p. 247, is the same - no "captain"!
Sitzmann does not mention it at all.
So where does your information about 'Captain" come from?
