Adjoint d'etat-major Ziemieki 1809

Hello everyone,


I am in the last stages of finishing my research on the officers and soldiers killed and wounded at the Battle of Thann. According to A. Martinien, Adjoint Capt. Ziemieki was wounded and later died of his wounds at the Battle of Thann. At the moment I have looked over C2 506 2e&3e Corps April 1809, but I am unable to find where he served. Also, I am looking for any help on two Aide de Camps who were also wounded at the battle. I was able to find S.Lt De Montmorency, but I am unable to find Capt. Bardout and Lt. Maussion. I appreciate any help that you can provide.

Thank you

Michael Lint


Ps. I am unsure if I am able to post a link to my blog on the research on the Battle of Thann, but I will include it just in case. https://uniformingthepast.blogspot.com/2020/07/1e-batallion-57e-regiment-dinfanterie.html

@Steven H. Smith Reading Scott Bowden's Napoleon's Finest, on page 122 Davout after action report of the Battle in Czarnowo says, "A young Polish officer, Ziemieski, who had asked and been granted by Marshal Davout the honor of marching with the detachment of 50 men commanded by the aide-de-camp Perrin, distinguished himself."


I am wondering if he was attached to Marshal Davout's staff and served there during the opening battle of the 1809 campaign.
