Specialist note

The Battle of Wagram (July 56, 1809) was a very important engagement in the Napoleonic Wars and took place on the Marchfeld plain, on the north bank of the Danube. It took place at the village of Deutsch-Wagram near Vienna. The two-day struggle saw Napoleon defeat the Austrians under the command of Archduke Charles of Austria-Teschen.
