The Battle of Muroz in the Grand Armée

Muroz cavalry were the first to make contact with the enemy, arriving outside Heilzburg early on June 10th, 1807. Muroz was an instinctively aggressive commander and he did not enjoy ordering his men backwards. The day was unusually hot and humid, even by the standards of a normal summer. Every account of this battle comments on the fact that officers and soldiers on both sides were struggling in tough weather.
