"Our great friend and distinguished member of the SHM, Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Domingo Escalante Galain, is creating a diorama depicting Lieutenant Colonel José de San Martín's address to the Mounted Grenadiers moments before the Battle of San Lorenzo. Miguel tells us, "Before beginning the charge at San Lorenzo, San Martín addressed the grenadiers, saying: 'I expect that both the officers and the grenadiers will conduct themselves in a manner befitting the Regiment's reputation,' and subsequently achieved the first victory of this glorious unit." This is a 1:32 scale diorama for the Juan Bautista Cabral Historical Museum in the town of Saladas."…"

Harangue is a perfectly good word to use – in the original French it simply means to give a speech, Napoleon was noted as giving the troops he commanded a haranguing very early on in his career, this was explained as in French meaning an inspiring speech – reference Napoleon The Great by Andrew Roberts. |

But in English (at least in American English), harangue has a definite unfavorable implication. |
