The Army of the Rhine (Шаблон:Lang-fr) was a French military unit that fought in the Franco-Prussian War. It was created after the declaration of war on July 18 1870.
The unit participated in combats in Lorraine, then divided to form a second army, the Army of Châlons.
The Army of the Rhine surrendered on 27 October at the Siege of Metz.
Creation of the unit
The Army of the Rhine was the first French Army constituted after the declaration of war, formed from the available troops during peacetime. Initially commanded by the Emperor Napoleon III, the Army included the Imperial Guard (Шаблон:Lang-fr), 7 Army Corps and a general reserve. Each Army Corps was constituted of 3 or 4 infantry division and 1 cavalry division made up of 2 or 3 brigades each, one artillery reserve and one engineer reserve. Each brigade counted 2 or 3 line infantry or line cavalry regiments.
The infantry divisions included an artillery component with 2 batteries de canons de 4 and 1 de mitrailleuse, while the cavalry divisions constituted 2 batteries horse mounted.
Formation of the army corps:[1]
- The Imperial Guard of the Second Empire (Шаблон:Lang-fr), with commander, général Bourbaki, garrisoned in Paris in times of peace. The Imperial Guard reached Metz on July 28 and the Guard reserves on the 30.
- The 1st Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr), commanded by Maréchal de France Patrice de Mac Mahon, Duc de Magenta was formed in principal by troops from Algeria and the regiments of Eastern France. This Army Corps activated on August 1, 1870. Its initial role was to cover the Alsace.
- The 2nd Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr) was consisted of troops of the Camp de Châlons, commanded by Frossard, aide de camp of the Emperor. These units made their way to Saint-Avold and Forbach.
- The 3rd Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr) was formed by troops from Paris, Metz and Nancy. Commanded by Marshal François Achille Bazaine until August 12, then général Decaen killed at Borny (August 12 to 14) and finally commanded by Marshal Le Bœuf.
- The 4th Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr), formed at Thionville on July 23 from the garrisons of the north and north-east, commanded by général de Ladmirault.
- The 5th Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr), formed with the Army of Lyon, commanded by general de Failly. This Army Corps assembled in the regions of Bitche and Haguenau.
- The 6th Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr) of Marshal François Certain de Canrobert consisted of troops from Paris, Châlons, and Soissons and assembled at the camp de Châlons.
- The 7th Army Corps (Шаблон:Lang-fr) had difficulty assembling due to its units being widely dispersed. Troops of the Army Corps hailed from the south-east, Clermont-Ferrand, Perpignan, Civitavecchia and had to make their way to Colmar and Belfort. This Army Corps was commanded by général Douay.
- The general Cavalry Reserve was supposed to be formed initially of 3 divisions with 2 brigades each. However, only 2 divisions were available as the 1st Division was employed to reinforce the Army of Châlons as the cavalry of the 6th Corps.
- The general Artillery Reserve, commanded by général Canu, formed at Nancy and made its way to Metz.
