Corbineau or Berckheim?
The 2nd Light Cavalry Division in October 1813 is listed as being led by one or other of these generals at the battle of Leipzig. I see Corbineau was wounded in the head at Kulm in August 1813 and one source at least indicates he did not return to the command. Berckheim had been leading a heavy cavalry brigade perhaps until mid-October. Does anyone have information that could solve this puzzle?

Nope. Neither is valid I think but thanks for your suggestions. 2nd LC Brigade was led by Montmarie which was the brigade that contained 1er Chevau-Legers Lanciers. I miswrote (not a word) due to a surge of enthusiasm unencumbered by rationality and sobriety. 😁
