I've seen them mentioned in two books: the first is 1812: The Great Retreat by Paul Britten Austin published by Greenhill in 1996 and the second is Mikaberidze already mentioned. So the information has been in print in English for over 20 years.


Thanks very much for the information as Eble and the Berezina are two favorite subjects of mine.
