One might consider Xenophon and the 10,000 , over 3,000 miles from home, fighting through hostile enemy territory, and taking around two years to get home. |

Sigel in the ACW was considered very good at withdrawing. Of course, he was always getting into situations that required a great withdrawal. :) |

The Japanese withdrawal from Guadalcanal in '43. Completely managed to fox the US Navy, and the Army suffered at least another hundred casualties from "friendly fire" while searching the then empty island for an enemy that had already decamped. TVAG |

In some cases, how much credit should be given to the incompetence of the pursuers? |

Fighting withdraw while constantly pursued by the enemy and fighting. Chosin Reservoir and Xenophon would be in the running. Gallipoli was a genius plan and execution as were the Japanese withdraw from the Aleutians and Guadalcanal. Wolfhag |

emckinney, it's hard to call the attack on Kazan a "retreat through Siberia". Vladivostok was in the opposite direction, several thousand kilometers away))) "Lion's retreat" of the 27th Neverovsky division in 1812.
From Wikipedia in an article about General Dmitry Neverovsky: "During the battle of Krasnoye on August 14 with 3 military corps under the command of Marshals Ney and Murat and the retreat after it, he showed high command skill and personal heroism. Despite frequent skirmishes with a numerically superior enemy ( Neverovsky had 6 thousand recruits against 15 thousand from the French), his division, which found itself in combat conditions for the first time, having repelled about 40 cavalry attacks, retreated (twelve miles over 5 hours) in the greatest order. |
