The division was destroyed at the Battle of Lowenberg, 29 August. Only Major Ware, 9 officers and 30 men managed to swim across the swollen river Bober – but importantly they still had the regimental eagle. The survivors were combined with the incomplete 3rd & 4th battalions into a single battalion and by 19 December had 85 officers and 396 men. They were assigned to garrison Antwerp (Anvers)and took part in its defence during the 1814 campaign.
