The acquaintance ripened into intimacy; Marmont became General Bonapartes aide-decamp, remained with him during his disgrace and accompanied him to Italy and Egypt, winning distinction and promotion to general of brigade.
In 1799 he returned to Europe with his chief; he was present at the coup detat of the 18th Brumaire, and organized the artillery for the expedition to Italy, which he commanded with great effect at Marengo.
They show Marmont, as he really was, an embittered man, who never thought his services sufficiently requited, and above all, a man too much in love with himself and his own glory to be a true friend or a faithful servant.

The Battle of Salamanca was fought among the Arapiles hills near Salamanca in Spain on July 22, 1812, and resulted in an Anglo-Portuguese tactical victory under Lord Wellington against the French under marshal Marmont.
The battle was a succession of strokes in oblique order, initiated by the Portuguese cavalry brigade and Pakenham's 3rd division, and continued by the British heavy cavalry and the 4th, 5th and 6th divisions.
By chance, both Marmont and his deputy commander were wounded by shrapnel in the first few minutes of firing.

The French Army in Spain was now commanded by Marshal Auguste Marmont, Massena having been recalled to France by Napoleon in May of 1811.
But if Marmont thought that Wellington's men were to spend the winter months in cantonments he was to be much mistaken.
All this led Marmont into believing that he was secure until the spring whereas in fact Wellington was busy making arrangements for a lightning thrust against the two French-held fortresses of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz.

 Observer | A soldier's cracking war story
One army was led by Arthur Wellesley, the then Viscount Wellington; the other by Auguste Marmont, one of Napoleon's favourite marshals.
Among Wellington's staff officers was a round-faced, balding 37-year-old major who, at every spare moment, would find some shade in which to study a scrap of paper covered in numbers.
Thus he knew the other French armies in Spain were unwilling to come to Marmont's aid: the result was the Battle of Salamanca, one of the greatest triumphs for British arms during the Napoleonic Wars.

The Battle of Salamanca was fought in the Arapiles near Salamanca in Spain on July 22, 1812, and resulted in a Anglo-Portuguese tactical victory under Lord Wellington against the French under marshall Marmont.
Wellington was reported to have defeated an army of 40,000 in under 40 minutes and said when Mashall Marmont had made his tactical error of separating his left flank, "by God that will do!"
The battle established Wellington as an offensive general; "He manoeuvred like Frederick the Great, in oblique order", wrote general Foy, a celebrated French divisional commander and author of memoirs about the Peninsular War in which he stated the famous assertion "Portugal is nothing but Lisbon; anything else is landscape"
