| Notes | From a webpost by "Zouave" on the forum at Armchairgeneral.com on 24 April 2009: Ferdinand de Lariboisière in his gleaming brass cuirass, son of the inspector general of the French artillery and a former page to Napoleon, had been commissioned Sous-lieutenant in the 1st Company of the 1st Squadron in the 1st Carabinier regiment on 9 November 1811. The posthumous portrait by Gros shows us a confident young officer turning his head towards the regimental trumpeters who are calling the Brigade to charge during the battle of Borodino, while bidding farewell to his father. The story was that General de Lariboisière had positioned himself facing the Great Redoubt while the Carabinier brigade marched past to deploy for their charge. Seeing his father, the 21-year-old Lieutenant left the ranks to shake his hand. Only moments later, the young officer was hit by a ball. After the battle, some troopers of his company carried him to his father's tent. Napoleon's own surgeon, Alexandre Yvan, removed the bullet that same night, but Ferdinand died a few days later at Mojaisk. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
