Re: Golzio 2nd Gren Guards Waterloo

I think the 2nd battalion is correct.

On Pigeard, L'Armée napoléonienne, p. 272.

8. Composition de la Garde impériale à Waterloo [1064]
...
2e Grenadier Maréchal-de-camp baron Christiani
1er bat. Chef de bataillon Martenot de Cordoux
2e Chef de bataillon Golzio
1064. S.H.A.T Xab 68 à 74

On d'Avout, L'infanterie de la garde à Waterloo, Carnet de la Sabretache, vol. 13, 1905, p.112. d'Avout quoted a letter from Christiani.

Ce fut M. Golzio, chef du 2e bataillon du régiment, que j'ai chargé de cette mission.

You could also check p. 337 and 402 in Dawson's book.

Mauduit did say Golzio was in command of the 1st battalion, but his words need to be treated with a grain of salt.
