One point I am not sure about - Chandler's Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars refers to the Russian commander as André Gallitzine; is in fact Dmitriy Vladimirovich Golitsyn? (I can understand the different surname - the first name is the problem). I have assumed the Golymin Golitsyn is Dmitriy Vladimirovich and Chandler is wrong about the first name.

I know that Chandler has made at least three glaring factual errors concerning the Battle of Krasnoi, so I wouldn't be surprised if he made other errors regarding Russian personages and issues of the era. In defense of Chandler it must be said however that mistakes such as these are seem to be exceptions to what is otherwise outstanding scholarship.
Andrewshobley: I see that you are using some of Greenhill's books as sources. Have you seen Digby Smith's works yet? His books on the Napoleonic Wars are published by Greenhill and I think they are excellent.
