According to Jolyet Napoleon reviewed this regiment on the day after his arrival back in Paris on 21 March and asked who was its commander. CubiÄres replied "Sir it is colonel de Beurnonville ; but he is ill." Napoleon replied "Beurnonville is not sick - it is you colonel CubiÄres who shall nevertheless take command of the 1st Light Infantry". In 1815 Despans-CubiÄres fought with his regiment at Waterloo and was wounded at Quatre-Bras and at Mont-Saint-Jean.<br> According to Jolyet CubiÄres was "the most valiant soldier and the best man-of-war that I have known.
