Lieutenant-General Imboff's account of the action of the 5th
of August, 1758, between the detachment under his command,
and M. de Chevert's Corps, near [Maer]. . .
I therefore ordered my infantry to advance about 200 paces
from the first hedges, and took the regiment of Stolzenberg
from my right, to post it in the coppice, in order to fall
upon the left of the enemy, whom I saw quite uncovered, and
gave orders to the other regiments to march, with drums
beating, up to the enemy, as soon as they should hear the
fire of the regiment of Stolzenberg, and to attack them with
bayonets.
