Conclusion 2: This low mortality rate indicates the medical services were organised and efficient in Dupont’s Division.
Dominique Jean Larrey was Napoleon's Chief Physician, and instituted radical changes in the ambulance system, which improved system with 2 and 4 wheel horse-drawn wagons (with litter bodies sprung from the wagon chassis to reduce the shock to the wounded patient) was first used by Napoleon's Army of the Rhine in 1793. Larrey's system is the ancestor to our modern battlefield quick recovery and treatment system.
Did his "flying ambulance" system play any significant role in this instance?
