Chapuis or Chapuis de Tourville[edit]

I've corrected a mistaken reference for the French commander, who was credited as Charles Bertin Gaston Chapuis de Tourville. In fact that officer was the former commandant of Maubeuge but was suspended in July 1793, not seeing employment again until 1795. The correct officer commanding Cambrai in 1794 is René Bernard Chapuy, (known as Chapuis). he was captured at Beaumonth 2 days after Villers en Cauchies.
