  Emmanuel, marquis de Grouchy - LoveToKnow 1911
EMMANUEL GROUCHY, MARQUIS DE (1766-1847), marshal of France, was born in Paris on the 23rd of October 1766.
Grouchy was shortly afterwards deprived of his rank as being of noble birth, but in 1795 he was again placed on the active list.
The march on Wavre, its influence on the result of the campaign, and the controversy to which Grouchy's conduct on the day of Waterloo has given rise, are dealt with briefly in the article Waterloo Campaign, and at length in nearly every work on the campaign of 1815.

 Napoleonic Marshals : Emmanuel Grouchy
Grouchy's abilities as a cavalry commander were shown at Eylau and Friedland and while he performed soundly as an administrator - he was governor of Madrid - and served in Italy and at Wagram, his earlier friendship with General Jean Moreau and his pro-republic stance counted against him when the Marshalate was picked.
In 1812, Grouchy commanded the III Cavalry Corps at Borodino and performed exceptionally well during the horrendous retreat from Moscow.
Grouchy insisted on following orders to pursue the retreating Prussian army, instead of "marching to the sound of the guns" at Waterloo, and that allowed enough of Blucher's men to arrive on Bonaparte's flank and decide the crucial battle.

 Napoleonic Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grouchy failed and although he engaged and defeated the Prussian rearguard under the command of Lt-Gen. von Thielmann in the Battle of Wavre (18–19 June), the rest of the Prussian army "marched towards the sound of the guns" at Waterloo.
The start of the Battle of Waterloo on the morning of June 18 1815 was delayed for several hours as Napoleon waited until the ground had dried from the previous night's rain.
Grouchy partially redeemed himself by organizing a successful and well-ordered retreat towards Paris where Marsal Davout had 117,000 men at the ready to turn back the 116,000 men of Blucher and Wellington.

 Pymm At Waterloo
After defeating the Prussians at Ligny and holding Wellington at Quatre-Bras in secondary battles south of Waterloo on June 16, Napoleon's marshals, Michel Ney and Emmanuel de Grouchy, failed to attack and annihilate either enemy while their armies were separated.
Grouchy, with 33,000 men, nearly one-third of Napoleon's total strength of 105,000, led a dilatory pursuit of Blücher.
On the 18th he was tied down at Wavre by 17,000 troops of Blücher's rear guard, while Blücher's main force escaped him, rejoined Wellington, and turned the tide of battle at Waterloo, 8 miles (13 km) to the southwest.

 Battle of Waterloo
At about 10 PM on June 17, Grouchy's scouts informed him that the Prussians, instead of retreating east to Namur, had turned northwest, seeking apparently a juncture with Wellington.
Grouchy's message of warning to Napoleon brought the reply, sent at 10 AM on June 18, that Grouchy should keep trying to make contact with the Prussians.
Another lapse was Ney's failure to attack Wellington on June 17 and thus prevent his withdrawal from Quatre-Bras; Ney also erred in ordering D'Erlon's corps to turn back from Ligny on June 16, thus depriving Napoleon of the chance to destroy Blücher's army.

At this time, the retreating the Prussians were being pursued by General Emmanuel de Grouchy, though the latter was unsuccessful in overtaking Blücher’s army.
Meanwhile, on the morning of June 18th, 1815, Wellington’s polyglot army of 67,000 Dutch-Belgians Nassauers, Hanoverians, Brunswickers and British was in a moderately strong position on a slight hill, a sunken road behind it and Le Château Hougoumont on the right.
Finally, in his reminiscences, Napoleon criticized General Grouchy’s failure to intercept the Prussians, Ney’s mistake of recalling D’Erlon’s corps and even when he himself erred in massing only 124,000 troops when he might easily have marshaled more by using the reserve troops.
