I would like to bring your attention to two fundraisers that are near and dear to my heart.

@elhamhamdan-gaza is a young woman trying to survive in Gaza with her family. She was a top student at university until October 2023, when she and her family were displaced from their home in Khan Younis and forced to flee to Rafah. After the invasion in Rafah, they returned to their home in Khan Younis only to find it burned. They had no choice but to live in it. Elham and her family desperately need funds for blankets and clothes, because winter is here and nights in Gaza are very cold right now.

Elham's campaign is very low on funds! So far they have only been able to raise £594 and they desperately need more support. Please donate to them if you are able, and share this post and campaign with as many people as you can.

This campaign was verified by the Butterfly Effect Project (instagram) and is number 1180 on their spreadsheet, which you can access through the link on their instagram profile.

Secondly, @drdarine is a young woman who is a medical student in Gaza. Despite being displaced and suffering hardships we can only imagine, Darine is continuing her studies and helping out others in the refugee camps and shelters in southern Gaza. Her family consists of seven people, one of them being my friend @dawoudi who is selflessly and unfailingly helping many other families in Gaza by verifying their fundraisers and promoting them on Tumblr. Everyday I see more campaigns added that he has verified, providing an important service to the many families in Gaza that need our help.

Darine's family has been fundraising since February, which is almost ten months! Despite that, they have only been able to raise $5,765, 19% of their goal. Progress on their campaign is extremely slow, often needing to wait multiple days for another donation to come in. We can do better than that.

This campaign was vetted by @gazavetters, and is number 15 on their spreadsheet, which you can find in the pinned post on their profile.

Eugène gets promoted (battle of Marengo)

Translated from the first volume of "Mémoires et correspondance politique et militaire du Prince Eugène" by Albert DuCasse again. This is about the second half of the battle of Marengo, when Desaix's arrival on the battlefield enabled the French to take the offensive again:

Finally, at around five o'clock, General Desaix joined us, and the First Consul was able to resume the offensive. General Lannes' troops, encouraged by this reinforcement, reformed, and soon the attack began, as did the enemy's retrograde march. General Kellermann's cavalry made a very fine charge on our left and, towards evening, the guard cavalry made an equally brilliant one. Although the terrain did not favour us, since we had two ditches to cross, we rushed with vigour against a column of cavalry much more numerous than us, just as it was deploying; we pushed it as far as the first bridges over the waters of the Bormida, constantly attacking with our sabres. The melee lasted ten minutes: I was lucky enough to get away with two sabre blows to my shabrack. The next day, the First Consul, on hearing the account of the affair, appointed me chef d'escadron. My squadron had suffered quite a bit, for, of the one hundred and fifteen horses I had in the morning, I had only forty-five left in the evening; it is true that a picket of fifteen chasseurs had remained close to the First Consul, and that many of the chasseurs, dismounted or slightly wounded, returned one after the other.

The official date of the promotion is 9 July 1800, and according to the "Moniteur", that's two days after Berthier had returned to Paris. Eugène himself at this time was still on the march.

(There's also sometimes cited a letter from Napoleon to Josephine, praising Eugène for taking captive an Austrian general during the battle. However, that letter is pretty sure a later fabrication, as there are so many. Eugène makes no mention of such an event.)

Discipline in the army of Napoleon during the French Revolution:

Indeed disorder and chaos were a constant problem with the republican armies. In Italy, General Bonaparte had the same kind of troubles when he began his campaign in spring 1796. On 22 April he issued an order that condemned looting on the part of officers and civilian commissaries. He gave division commanders the authority to arrest and remove officers who allowed pillage, and to have officers and men shot who were caught in the act of pillaging. On 26 April he wrote to the directors: “There is less looting than there was. The first thirst of a famishing army is being satisfied. There are excuses for the guilty men; they have arrived in the Promised Land, which they have seen for three years from the summit of the Alps, and they want to enjoy it. A few have been shot, more put to hard labor behind the lines.” On 9 May Bonaparte again wrote to Paris: “Discipline is improving every day, though we still have to shoot a good many men, for there are some intractable characters incapable of self-restraint.” The problems with looting and pillaging in the armies in Germany differed little from those in Italy.
