- ^ The sources are split over whether Antoine Maurin's division was the 6th or 7th cavalry division. For example William Siborne and John Franklin number it 6th while Philip Haythornthwaite numbers it 7th (Siborne 1848, p. 299; Franklin & Embleton 2015, p. 19;Haythornthwaite 2007, p. 142).
- ^ Antoine Maurin was wounded at the Battle of Ligny, command passed to Louis Vallin (Siborne 1848, p. 299).
- ^ The strength and losses of the French Guard foot regiments is provided from a study of the Service Historique de l'Armée de Terre archives, conducted by Russian historian Oleg Sokolov. Complements reflect the actual strength of the Foot Guards on the morning of 16 June 1815, before the beginning of the battle of Ligny. During this battle, around 350 men of the Foot Guard were lost, with most casualties in the Young Guard division (Sokolov 2003, p. 478).

- ^ a b Georg Dubislav Ludwig von Pirch: "Pirch I", the use of Roman numerals being used in Prussian service to distinguish officers of the same name, in this case from his brother, seven years his junior, Otto Karl Lorenz von Pirch "Pirch II".

In July 1814 it became the Elbe Regiment, and in March 1815 it was designated as the 26th Prussian line regiment.[11]
