Boucher and Bonnet
In Response To: Re: Vieux not Legros ? ()

No, Petiet's memoirs are the original source for both names: Bonnet and Boucher.

In the 1844 edition, it is Boucher:

In the 1996 edition, it is Bonnet:

Probably Andrew Field, Waterloo: The French Perspective, used this 1996 edition as his source:

Whether the 1996 Bonnet is a misreading of the 1844 Boucher, or perhaps a better reading of the original manuscript, I can't tell, as I don't have access to the 1996 edition of Petiet's memoirs.
