can anyone tell me what the figures in brackets at the end of the sentences mean, I've completly forgotten, I think it may be squadron/companys and actual men but not sure 6th Young Guard Foot Battery (3/86)
1/24th Légère Regiment (13/519)
4/29th Chasseur à Cheval Regiment (9/112/21/109) TIA |

I Believe its Officers, Men , Horses For Artillery its Guns and Men |

Officers/men. Not sure why one squadron of the 29th would have two sets of numbers. |
 Saber6  | 03 Sep 2015 6:19 a.m. PST |
Officers/men and for cavalry I believe mounts |
| The Emperors Own | 03 Sep 2015 6:20 a.m. PST |
Officers Mounts, Troops Mounts |

thanks all, the 4/29th Chasseur à Cheval is it mounts first then oficers or the other way round |

It's different on trains though: Eight horses/40 men. |

9 officers 112 other ranks 21 officer mounts 109 other rank mounts.
The artillery figures, in the example above, would be officers and then other ranks – these numbers probably omit the train, which would be itemized separately. |

Yes it would be normal to have officers have two mounts |

I don't think the artillery is guns then men, but rather officers then men. |
