Louis-Alexandre Berthier ( Maréchal d'Empire) - Pièce Signée concernant les prisonniers anglais - 1805

Paris, July 1, 1805 "I have just ordered the formation of a new DEPOT of PRISONERS of WAR at Fort Moselle in Metz / This deposit is intended, like that of BITCHE, to receive those of the English who have given some cause for discontent. Please ensure that the instructions which you have previously received for the other Depots are followed exactly at Fort Mozelle, and that in the future direct prisoners whose conduct appears to require more careful supervision. L I greet you with distinguished consideration. Signed: Berthier. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------- CNE France Certificate of Authenticity provided Delivery with Insurance included.
