CharacterChasteler was regarded as a competent professional, representing "the last generation of the talented and lively southern Netherlanders in the Austrian Army. He was brave as well as expert, but also bespectacled and short-sighted - an unfortunate combination of characteristics with brought him into the path of many a missile in the course of his career" [3] As the commander of an Army Corps in 1809 however his performance was "vacillating".[4] [5]Notes1. ^Bowden & Tarbox, p 107 2. ^Schneid, p 66 3. ^Duffy Eagles over the Alps p.25) 4. ^Gill With Eagles to Glory p.339 5. ^Smith-Kudrna, Chasteler de Courcelles ReferencesPrinted materials
