The Army of the Rhine (French: Armée du Rhin) was a French military unit that fought in the Franco-Prussian War. It was created after the declaration of war on July 18 1870.
The unit participated in combats in Lorraine, then divided to form a second army, the Army of Châlons.
The Army of the Rhine surrendered on 27 October at the Siege of Metz.
Creation of the unit
The Army of the Rhine was the first French Army constituted after the declaration of war, formed from the available troops during peacetime. Initially commanded by the Emperor Napoleon III, the Army included the Imperial Guard (French: La Garde Impériale), 7 Army Corps and a general reserve. Each Army Corps was constituted of 3 or 4 infantry division and 1 cavalry division made up of 2 or 3 brigades each, one artillery reserve and one engineer reserve. Each brigade counted 2 or 3 line infantry or line cavalry regiments.
The infantry divisions included an artillery component with 2 batteries de canons de 4 and 1 de mitrailleuse, while the cavalry divisions constituted 2 batteries horse mounted.
The Imperial Guard of the Second Empire (French: Garde Impériale du Second Empire), with commander, général Bourbaki, garrisoned in Paris in times of peace. The Imperial Guard reached Metz on July 28 and the Guard reserves on the 30.
The 3rd Army Corps (French: 3e Corps d'Armée) was formed by troops from Paris, Metz and Nancy. Commanded by MarshalFrançois Achille Bazaine until August 12, then général Decaen killed at Borny (August 12 to 14) and finally commanded by Marshal Le Bœuf.
The 4th Army Corps [fr] (French: 4e Corps d'Armée), formed at Thionville on July 23 from the garrisons of the north and north-east, commanded by général de Ladmirault.
The 5th Army Corps (French: 5e Corps d'Armée), formed with the Army of Lyon, commanded by general de Failly. This Army Corps assembled in the regions of Bitche and Haguenau.
The 7th Army Corps [fr] (French: 7e Corps d'Armée) had difficulty assembling due to its units being widely dispersed. Troops of the Army Corps hailed from the south-east, Clermont-Ferrand, Perpignan, Civitavecchia and had to make their way to Colmar and Belfort. This Army Corps was commanded by général Douay.
The general Cavalry Reserve was supposed to be formed initially of 3 divisions with 2 brigades each. However, only 2 divisions were available as the 1st Division was employed to reinforce the Army of Châlons as the cavalry of the 6th Corps.
The general Artillery Reserve, commanded by général Canu, formed at Nancy and made its way to Metz.
The general Engineer Reserve was commanded by colonel Rémond.
On August 1, 1870, the Army of the Rhine was constituted of seven Army Corps and of artillery and reserve cavalry. Lieutenant-colonel Rousset tendered an estimative decomposition by grand units:[3]
The Cavalry Division attached to the 6th Army Corps since August 18 in replacement of the division of Salignac-Fénelon, was commanded by général du Barail

^the 14th, 20th, and 31st Line Infantry Regiments did not join and were integrated in the 12th Army Corps. The Division was accordingly reduced to the 9th line Infantry Regiment.

^This division did not join the Army Corps and was replaced, on August 18, by the Division of général du Barail.

^Colonel Morand was promoted to général August 25 and replaced général Nicolaï, prisoner. He was killed at Beaumont on August 30.
^Colonel de Gramont was promoted to général and replaced général Maire, killed during the battle of Frœschwiller.
