Was not this derogatory name for young conscripts also a reference to their youth, as France was scraping the manpower barrel by then?Paulturtle (talk) 21:34, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Chandler's data

@Djmaschek: Why these two sources both said the french lost 500 men? Did the publisher got wrong?[1],[2][1] Waylon1104 (talk) 00:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Source [1] (Chandler) states that the Russians lost 5,000 men and the French lost 500 more. In other words, the French lost 5,500 men, not 500. Djmaschek (talk) 02:05, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
