You have done better than that Armand

Very old fashionned site updated in 2011 for the last time, most of the page -Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
The two main authors belong to the SEHRI association that is still alive and doing well: assosehri.fr

SEHRI is famous for its napoleonic forum.

Some are visible, others not to me. Tant pis!
However, again caution must be exercised as to accuracy.

En 1805, le 3e léger, qui compte 1492 hommes, fait partie de la Brigade Laplanche-Mortières, Division Oudinot, 5e corps d'armée Maréchal Lannes. Il Participe à la bataille d'Austerlitz.

Only some, the elite companies were in the division of course. Not the regiment in full. And allowing that (I have not checked) they were in that Brigade initially perhaps, by time of the campaign they were in the 2nd Brigade, Dupas, not the first where the 'line regiments' only appeared.

The Reserve Grenadiers Division (a classic Napoleonic misnomer given that roughly >~40% were 'carabiniers') were detached from Lannes Corps prior to 'the battle'. That may have happened when Suchets was transferred from the IV Corps d'Armée (Soult) (again speaking from memory).

You're stating that kind of detail from memory?! Chapeau, Shako, Mirliton or Tricorn duly doffed (seriously, while at the same time not-too-serious). Good Luck.
